From the composer -

I had the pleasure to meet Andy Miller (check out his website) when he was a Fulbright Fellow in Bogotá. He has broadly studied Afro Caribbean percussion as well as concert percussion and that was actually our point of departure and common interests when we started working on this project. We thought it would be interesting to create a solo piece for snare drum that would incorporate both traditions, the orchestral and the Caribbean music tradition. I am not a stranger to this idea, as I have already explored it in other pieces of mine (i.e. Illegal Cycles, Danzas Tórridas)

The title reflects the idea described above, as well as the fact that both of us are bilingual. It also reflects the fact, that most of the consortium members are from either Colombia or the US. And as matter of fact, there are two scores for this piece, one in Spanish the other in English. Thanks to recommendation from David Skidmore from Third Coast Percussion, this piece was part of the repertoire for the Modern Snare Drum Competition organized by Tom Sherwood.
