Danza del Alma
Jessika Smith's "Danza del Alma" ignites any set list with passionate energy. The piece is the result of her many years playing in a Latin band, riffing montunos on the saxophone, and dancing, dancing, dancing! The slower, reflective salsa tempo at the beginning of the piece offers solo space in trombone and piano, and the faster tempo later on includes a fantastic trumpet feature and additional space for trombone once again.
Auxiliary percussion can be added or omitted, and the clarinet parts can easily be played instead on tenor sax. Educators, this is a great opportunity to explore clave, tumbao, and cascara rhythms with your students. And as always, it doesn't hurt to learn a little salsa dancing too!
