Description
The piece
Caribe is the Spanish name for the Caribbean Sea (or Sea of the Antilles). It is also the name of one of the two ethnic groups that inhabited Central-Southern America when Christopher Columbus arrived in the New World: the Arawaks and the Caribs. This piece is inspired by the rhythms and atmospheres that can still be heard and felt in those places today: the strongly syncopated rhythm of the wind and percussion instruments evokes that of the salsa and merengue, while the urgent melody is reminiscent of the landscapes and songs of Central-Southern America. All this is contained in a fresh, light piece, that can be a small bright interlude in the concert.
