"El Torro" by Alan Bates

List Price: $42.00
Price: $37.00

Difficulty: Medium (great for junior high, high school or college steel bands)

Ready to try something different and expand your audience’s idea of what steelbands are capable of?  El Torro is a flamenco influenced piece in 6/8 time.  I make no claim that this is “authentic” flamenco, but It has a Spanish sounding tonality and interesting rhythms, including some polyrhythms in the 2nd half.  6 bass is not just a supporting instrument: it has a prominent role to play throughout.
