Mambo 'Nough - Brandon Dittgen [DIGITAL SET]

Cuban dancers would describe mambo as "feeling the music," in which sound and movement were merged through the body. This original work features many familiar licks and riffs from several of the famous mambo-artists from the twentieth century. While not exactly composed in traditional mambo form, it's certainly Mambo 'Nough to have audiences on their feet and dancing along.

Each melodic part should be represented within the pan ensemble to effectively complete the chordal harmonies. If an individual style pan is not available, it should be substituted with a secondary pan. (e.g. The Double Tenor part may be performed instead on a Lead/Tenor)

Rhythmic patterns are provided for each percussion part, however, any variations within the mambo style may be performed.
