1. Find a song that has been covered at least twice in addition to the original, giving you three different versions of the song to compare and contrast. At least one of the three covers/arrangements should have Latin American influences.

**Note: The more popular and well-known a song is, the more covers you'll have to choose from (take "Jingle Bells" or Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" for example).

2. Then, in a diagram like below, using proper musical terminology, describe each version separately. The column for the original, is just for the original. The column for cover #1, is just for cover #1, etc.

 | Original Version | Cover #1 | Cover #2
Rhythm |  |  |
Instrumentation |  |  |
Melody |  |  |
Texture |  |  |
Influences |  |  |

3. Describe how the technical differences between all three versions change the mood and/or feel of the song. How does each version take on a life of its own, despite shared characteristics?
