About "The Night of Santiago (Originally Performed by Leonard Cohen) (Instrumental Version)" by Backing Business

Leonard Cohen's hushed storytelling is replaced by a sparse, flamenco-tinged backing. The nylon-string guitar and subtle percussion evoke a moonlit plaza, where desire and regret dance a slow, inevitable tango—a romantic melancholy without words.
