Let this energetic salsa tune take you and your audience to paradise! Your students will love playing El Paraiso so much that the skills they're developing will seem effortless. Work on a solid rhythmic groove, ensemble blend and rhythmic energy, and give your drums and percussion section a chance to shine on the solo breaks at the end of the tune. This tune is flexibly orchestrated so that it can be played by as few as 9 players. Additionally, everyone in the ensemble has an opportunity to improvise in the open solo section, and the set includes two suggested solos and a CD with a solo practice track, to facilitate successful improvisation.
