Description

By: arr Robert Ramskill

Some of the greatest melodies of twentieth century popular music are Latin American either in origin or in inspiration. The subtle and evocative rhythms of such forms as the Samba, Bossa Nova, Tango and Rumba are to be found in this collection of arrangements of Latin favourites all of which would make excellent concert material.
… El Cumbanchero • Guaglione • Hernandos Hideaway • Brazil • Cuando Calienta el Sol • Nature Boy • Fly Me to the Moon • Feelings
“… This is a book with its tongue firmly in its cheek. Cushioned by the passing of time, tunes like Hernandos Hideaway and El Cumbanchero have become cult classics which Grade 4-5 players will have enormous fun playing. On the whole, the tunes are presented in simple arrangements in user-friendly keys, though Guaglione does stray into five sharps at one point.” Reviewed Music Teacher
