@Mike wow thanks man! That's a great analysis and very valid feedback. I can relate to pretty much everything you observed.
Based on this input I felt inspired to open up the project again and have even more fun! I've done a review of my mix, I kinda started with noticing some things I wanted to address and first worked on that but I ended up retouching loads of little things.

The only thing which is bothering me with this is the attention the timbale and conga are drawing away from the essence of the song. They've become too prominent and draw focus away from the vocal and the primary rhythm to the detriment of the song and arrangement, I'm afraid. IMHO, the movement of these percussion instruments should be a counter-punctual undelayment to add movement to the stoic rhythm of the song and thereby add interest.
