It exposes students to syncopation and allows dierent sections to play by themselves. Rhythms should be played crisply or the best eect and special attention should be given to potentially tricky syncopations (or example, m. 25). The piece would be a superb choice to add a multicultural selection to a school concert. Latin American music is a diverse mixture o elements rom Arican, Native American, European, and American styles. Two popular orms o Latin music are the Cha Cha Cha, a dance style that developed in Cuba in the 1950s, and Salsa, an intense dance music that was created in New York by immigrants rom the Caribbean during the 1960s and 1970s. The main characteristic o the style is its distinctive rhythmic quality. Instead o swinging the beat, Latin music uses straight eight notes. There is a strong Arican lavor to Latin rhythms. Most songs in Latin styles are built on a repeating, irregular rhythmic pattern called a clave. The oundational rhythmic pattern in Cha Cha de Salsa is played by the snare drum. Beore rehearsing the piece, have students internalize the eel by clapping this rhythm. I hope you and your students enoy the piece!
