This composition makes use of basic rhythms from the sensual trational Cuban dance called Rumba Guaguanco. These rhythms are combined with string melodic writing to create a hybrid work that encapsulates both the dance and expressive elements of music. This work was performed in a strong orchestra version by the String Orchestra of New York City (SONYC) and reviewed favourably by the the New York Times.
