Latin Jazz
The congas remember what the Atlantic tried to erase.
Latin Jazz is a style from the Smoke and Midnight family. 120 BPM, Weirdness 28, Style Influence 93.
Congas, montuno piano, and jazz brass fused into elegant fire. Latin jazz: the perfect marriage of swing and Caribbean flavor, hot and sophisticated all at once.

Sample excerpt
Mi maestro tocaba Ellington y guaguancó la misma noche y decía que era exactamente la misma música. Yo tardé quince años en darle la razón y otros cinco en poder tocarlo.
La clave no traduce, la clave conversa, lo demás es acento, nada más. El swing y el tumbao son primos lejanos que se reconocieron en un escenario.
Workshop note — Primera persona, pretérito, didáctica y cálida. El latin jazz vive de la clave sobre armonía de jazz: la letra debe nombrar los dos mundos. A 120 BPM el acento cae en contratiempo y la frase debe permitirlo.
