While Western polyphonic music achieved its pinnacle in the fugue, rhythmic polyphony of great complexity evolved in Cuba. It is particularly the 'bata' (drumming music originating in the Afro-Cuban 'Santeria' cult), the 'rumba' and the 'son' (ancestor of the famous 'salsa') which have provided me with my inspiration. I employ the quartet in the manner of a drumming ensemble and each individual string corresponds to the sound of a particular drum. The quartet plays on scordatura open strings employing a rich palette of percussive playing techniques recreating the different types of drumming attacks. Thierry Pecou.

Here's a lighter number that's ideal for pops concerts, multicultural events, or any time you want to program a little Latin music into your concerts! Calling for optional percussion part of guiro, this music features a syncopated melody that uses lots of "off-the-string" bowing. It's sure to make your strings produce a clean, crisp sound.
