(Level 4) A Latin-flavored original, this spicy tune will add heat to any concert performance. The rhythm section gets a run for their money with many accented kicks, unison bop-oriented lines, stop section and up-tempo accuracy. Vocalists are challenged with tight unisons, a cappella soli, four-part close sections and wordy lyrics which must be concisely addressed. Above all the difficulty, this chart is thrilling to perform. SATB with rhythm section, percussion.
