Sonata Antilles, I. Mulatto Girl

Description

Sonata Antillas, I. Mulata merges two structural concepts: that of the sonata form with its three respective sections (exposition, development, and re-exposition) and that of the song for salsa orchestra with its two large sections (the base and the shine). In addition, this piece develops some rhythmic patterns typical of the different instruments that make up an orchestra or salsa ensemble, such as the clave, the conga, the bongo, the bell, the timbale, the bass, and the piano. Thus, Mulata has a bright, energetic, and impetuous spirit.
