This catchy mambo is built almost entirely on the rhythmic figure clapped in the first two bars. Its authentic mambo flavor is a blast to play and is accessible by developing high school bands. Optional solos scored for alto, tenor, trombone, and piano/guitar.
As recorded by Rick Hirsch's Big Ol' Band on their 2017 albumĀ Pocono Git-Down.
