Salsa Listening Description
Posted by jte001 on November 28, 2009
This song starts out with multiple layers with a duple meter. The contour of the music is in the same range of notes for the whole entire song. The first layer that easy to pick out is the single trumpet. This trumpet is played like a lead guitarist in a rock band, it leads the rest of the instruments and holds the rhythm. There are multiple layers of drums giving off a medium tempo. In the mix of all of the instruments there is an acoustic guitar being played to back both the drums and trumpet. For the whole song the layers play in tune with each other with no syncopation. There is no call and response between the instruments. This song seems to be made with great articulation and the purpose to get people to dance. This song does have something to it where it feels like someone could really express themselves through the dance that can go with this song.
This was Due on Thursday November 19.
