1) House/Lounge Band from Germany
Jürgen Kadel & Marcus Finger of Hacienda both hailed from the 1990s progressive house scene around Frankfurt and met at a party back in 1993. One year later they founded Hacienda. Hacienda’s debut album “Sunday Afternoons” on Harthouse in 1996 impressed a considerable number of people and received favorable reviews in Germany as well as in the UK and in the US. In 1998 the found a new home at INFRACom! where they released „Narrowed Eyes“ the same year anticipating the Nu-Jazz phenomenen years before ist was labeled as such. 2000 followed „Third Door Left“ including „Sabor“ which entered the charts in Italy and Turkey for weeks. „Third door left“ was licensed to Japan, where Hacienda was touring successfully. During their years with INFRACom! the career of Hacienda boomed and their tracks appeared on numerous compilations. They already had became an internationally renowned act, when they changed for Ministry Of Sound in 2003, where they released their next two albums
If you ask Hacienda how they would describe their style they would say something like this. “Take a little bit of Bossa, Dub, Latin, Acid Jazz, Salsa, Brasil and may be some Funk elements, then add the specific Hacienda Flava and you got our style. Hacienda Style!
2) Rock Band rom San Antonio, Texas
The band has always been a family affair with cousins Abraham Villanueva and Dante Schwebel planting the musical seeds that would become the Hacienda sound. The two had modest musical goals but were unable to secure additional members that were on the same page musically and personally in 2004. Meanwhile the two remaining Villanueva brothers were playing together in a band at bars and house parties outside of San Antonio. The fate of their band was short lived, and as luck would have it, the timing could not have been more perfect. Jaime and Rene completed the lineup and Hacienda was now in full swing. The four began playing together for no other reason than to make a complete sound. "It’s strange, but at the time, we had no intentions of doing anything more than putting a cd in the car and trying to trick our friends into to thinking it was some professional band," recalls Dante, Hacienda's guitar wielding cousin. "We all liked playing instruments and were just excited to play a tune that we liked and make it sound as good or close to the original version, that’s it!" It was not until late 2005 that the band purchased a small digital recorder and began tracking demos. As a matter of fate, a demo of 6 songs made it to the hands of Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys and since then, the band's future would be changed indefinitely. Hacienda made quite a buzz in the music world when their 6 song demo was passed around from musicians to record execs, managers, and the like.
3) Indie-Alternative-Rock Band from Brazil
Veronica
Hacienda Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The way that you comb your hair
It's on, and still to me
Yeah no oh
But the way that you love your man
It's easy to understand
That you and I can't happen
No one can
Isn't everybody gone
I don't believe they coming back
'Til the morn'
And I know the reason why
[Chorus]
But what about the plans we made
If I was bad
Oh I've been mistreating her soul
Oh I do you wrong
I say baby now don't
But don't you leave all alone
No, Veronica
Come on home
I thought that I want your love
It was easy just to give you up
They don't know how
Like me, yeah, no, no
Veronica I can't find
The feelings you left behind
Girl I just gotta watch you
All of the time
Never need to turn around
And soon enough they'll
Be heaped in the ground
And I swear you seen the wave
[Chorus x2]
Come on home
Come on home
Don't you leave all alone
Oh, Veronica
Come on home
