I composed that song in honor of the French Quebequers who visit Florida since years.
Quebequers are saying tabarnak every two words it’s like f… in English. Every winter they invade Fort Lauderdale to runaway wintertime.
For the local people who don’t speak a word of French, the only thing they keep hearing coming back all the time is the work “Tabarnak”… For that reason, they have been nicknamed Los Tabarnakos.
The song features two parts. The intro, that sounds a bit symphonic and the main song that follows a latin jazz groove, in a pure Chick Corea style.
The piano part I wrote was a pain to play for the poor piano player. I wrote both hand and it’s almost unplayable by a normal human being. Pierre hated me for that, but it was a nice challenge for him to beat the chart…
