(Level 4) An original Broadley tune in the Latin vein which features a solo voice to introduce the theme with rubato piano accompaniment. After the sensitivity of this introduction, the vocals plow into a ripping, up-tempo Latin accompaniment-like riff. First half of the piece challenges the rhythm section to cook in double-time feel, while four-part vocals carefully glide on top with a half-time feel. Second half of piece demands aggressive unison accuracy. SATB with rhythm section and optional solo.
