Originally written for alto saxophonist Yosvany Terry and recorded by Yosvany and the Felipe Salles Interconnections Ensemble on the 2023 album Home is Here. A challenging piece that rethinks Afro-Cuban and African rhythms in 5/4 and 15/8 exploring textures and modal harmonies over the shifting groove. Featured soloists: alto saxophone and bass trombone. It can be played with or without the alto soloist. No vbs version – replace guitar, tp2. No vbs/gt version – replace ww3, ww5, tp2
