about

A variety of Cuban rhythms including Mozambique, guguanco, cha cha loca fun, and songo create the foundation for this mostly acoustic piece. The bass part and a synth string pad are the only parts played on electric/electronic instruments. I had a great time recording all of the percussion parts: congas, timbales, udo drum, claves, guiro, shaker, vibra slap, and wood block.
