about

THE BASE ELEMENT was totally meant as a Live Gig Simulation on a fast SOUL GROOVE with firstly a Humoristically Exaggerated Feature of Saskia. She is being Announced (by Ghasem!) through a Screaming and Applauding Live Crowd, she comes on stage, waits a little, plays One Very Delicate Note and the Audience goes Wild again. Notice the Filtered Accompaniment at the End of her Solo by Rob and his Sherman. Saskia is Very Proud to have as the Other Featured Musician Sir Lesley Joseph from Curacao (who is also an Outstanding Steelpan Player) with his Inimitable Sound and Technique laying down a Gripping Hip Electric Bass Solo with a Phenomonal Slap Groove that stands on His Own.

lyrics

(Ghasem:) Ladies and Gentlemen / We want you to put your Bodymusic together / One moment for, please / Miss Saskia Laroo / Dutchess of the Jazz Dance Flow / Here to let you know that / We got to go forward ever and / Saskia, she’s not gonna never stop // Alright, alright, Please Ladies and Gentlemen / Put your Bodymusic together / Let’s welcome to the stage Saskia Laroo / Saskia Larooooo // Love, the base element in the house / Love is the bass element in the house / How about a nice round of applause / To Mister Lesley Joseph
