Sample excerpt

Aquí nadie toca despacio ni por accidente, la orquesta entra como si llegara tarde a todo. Le pregunté al pianista cómo se aprende esto y me dijo que no se aprende, se aguanta.

¡Y se armó, y se armó, y se armó! Que la timba no avisa, la timba llega. El que quiera entender que se siente, el que quiera bailar que no piense.

Workshop notePrimera persona, presente, desbordada. La timba vive del gear del coro: escribe un estribillo de tres palabras repetibles y deja que la orquesta lo rompa. A 100 BPM el bloque coral entra en contratiempo.
