Description
This piece is part of a trilogy of compositions from Poul Ruders, all dealing with Latin American rhythms and percussion instruments. The red-thread rhythm of this piece is that of the classic cuban Cha-Cha-Cha but otherwise the piece can be considered a veritable merry-go-round of exciting Latin American rhythm patterns - Sambas, Baiao, Calypso, Mambo and so on.
