Description
Track composed for the Weekly Note Composing Jam #46 inspired by the theme "Fake Gerne", this track is a CuecaDreamcore, a Cueca mixed with Dreamcore aesthetic. Cueca is a Latin and Chilean folkoric genre, this is the chilean version inspired by the "Chileneros" style of piano arrangement, "Chileneros" were a music ensamble who played a very specific kind of Cueca, which is the "Cueca Urbana" or "Cueca Chora" which means urban cueca, the lyrics and instrumentation was more agressive in comparison to the other styles of cueca like the "Cueca de campo" which translates like the countryside cueca coming from other regions that werent urbanized in those years. So I composed this piano arrangement inpired by their music and tried to dress it as a Dreamcore sound aesthetic inspired by the Yume Nikki OST.

I really enjoy and appreciate the thought and effort that went into this one. You also taught me something new about a genre I know little about. Kudos!!


the song feels like a fever dream. Like waking up with a cold sweat and not remembering where you are haha. It has a very nostalgic but eerie vibe to it. The little clicking percussion makes me feel paranoid almost. Great mix of genres for something that’s not only unique and different but enjoyable to listen to. Can absolutely see this in a horror game as sort of the “safe room” song. 

One of my favorites so far!

¡Wow! Thank you so much I really appreciate your comment! I'm super glad you liked the track and the information about this genre from my country. It’s awesome that you mentioned it feels like a fever dream, haha! This music is very festive, and people often dance to it while drunk during national holidays. Rhythmically, it actually has that kind of 'drunken' feel because it constantly mixes 6/8 and 3/4 time signatures. Plus, some of the strums on the piano and guitar tend to feel intentionally off-grid, haha!
