SUITE ANTILLAS

El paso de los vientos (The Path of the Winds) is a recreation of a famously beautiful and treacherous mass of water in the Caribbean Sea where countless ships have sunk due to the hurricanes that have torn through that area. It’s a piece of restrained and contained energy. Puesta del sol (Sunset) is based on the impressions made by the beautiful and spiritual landscape that is a sunset on any given day in the Caribbean. The rhythmic patterns and phrases at times insinuate the cadences of bolero and the cha cha cha. Arrecife (Arrecife) is the name of the rock formation that surrounds many Cuban coastlines. It is a sharp, dented and rough surface where marine species seek refuge. This is the most jazz-influenced movement. Suite Antillas was commissioned by the famous Beijing Guitar Duo (Wang Yameng and Su Meng).
