The mute trumpet by Jon Faddis gives the affair a solemn tone. This composition is like a dance of the Orixas to receive a deceased tribal chief with great joy. I once attended a reenactment of a ceremonial ritual where the music sounded like this piece. It was in a small Village of Cimarrónes (Maroons, runaway slaves, to honor the memory of a great figure) in Panama. I also attended one in Bahia, Brasil. The music, chanting, and dancing draw you into somewhat of a trance and into a dream world of joy driven by a pulsating rhythm. Wow! I have traveled to many places, and everywhere the indigenous people have fascinating rituals to celebrate the end of life of a great person. Like in New Orleans, where the Master musician Jon Faddis is from. No matter one's roots, there is a gene somewhere in our DNA that takes us back to our indigenous roots...no matter the continent. We must have all originated on the same continental soil. And that is where this music transports us to. I firmly believe Africa is where the great migration of our ancestors began. Oh, yeah! This has to be the resounding, anthropological, truth. We are all brothers and sisters under the skin, the same sun, moon and stars of the firmament. Thanks to these great musicians for this great piece of music! Good music is what elevates our spirit to harmonize our common humanity. And what is it that takes us beyond hate and despair? Our evocative ancestral music, of course!
ABSOLUTELY SUPERB + AMAZING!!! WHAT BEAUTIFUL UPLIFTING POSITIVE VIBES!!! PRODUCING A MAGICAL ELEVATION OF SPIRIT TO A HEAVENLY REALM!!! TQ KINDLY FOR A LOVELY PERFORMANCE!!!
This piece is like a fusion of West African, Indigenous Amazonian, and Afro-Caribbean music. It's a pulsating rhythm injected with exotic sounds. You actually feel like you are taking part in a ceremonial remembrance honoring a great tribal figure. With the master percussionist Alex Acuña driving the celebrants in a furious yet joyful dance; while Lalo directs the long parade honoring the passing of the great tribal chief. Then Lalo takes down the celebrants into a soft rain to sanctify the ritual; and the horns come in to close the remembrance with the sound of the drums softening...Man, it's beautiful. Bravo, Lalo!

This was the cut used on the album release. Fantastic interplay and Faddis and Sanchez both give wonderful solos.
