Description:
Jean-François Michel wrote these three sketches in the style of three of the most typical South-American dances: the traditional samba, the bossa-nova (with its cool jazz flavor), both of Brazilian origin, while the more recent salsa (literally spicy 'sauce') represents an unbridled Afro-Cuban music fusion. All three dances have conquered the world thanks to the solar and rhythmical joy of living they transmit.
These three dances can be performed as a suite, or as individual works.
NB: The number of percussion players can be chosen by the performer. The composer only uses typical and light percussion instruments to lend themselves to open air performances.
