Review:
This flavorable Puerto Rican Carol is spiced up with lost of staccato technique including thumb damps, martellatos and plucks. Other seasonings are the echo technique, optional handchimes (2-3 octaves) on the mid-range melody, shakes and a bull fighter (optional). The rhythms are syncopated, but repetitious and should come along after a few rehearsals. You will find the melody in various ranges of the bells, so be sure to bring it out!
