About this arrangement

Fanfare Band - Grade 1 SKU: BT.GOB-000794-120 Composed by Peter Martin. Score Only. 8 pages. Gobelin Music Publications #GOB 000794-120. Published by Gobelin Music Publications (BT.GOB-000794-120). The sparkling music from Soweto (South Africa) has a long history. The rhythmic dances of Kwela, the 'syncopated guitars' of Mbaqanga, the saxophones and trumpets with their supple African jazz sounds as well as the infectious and sometimes gripping choir singing. All these elements can be recognized when listening to the 'Soweto String Quartet', which in its turn inspired Peter Martin to write 'Soweto Swing'. De muziek in Soweto (Zuid-Afrika) bruist en kent een lange traditie. De ritmische dansen van Kwela, de 'syncopated guitars' van Mbaqanga, de saxofoons en trompetten met hun lenige Afrikaanse jazzklanken en de aanstekelijke ensoms meeslepende koormuziek. Al deze elementen horen we terug in het spel van het 'Soweto String Quartet' waardoor Peter Martin zich liet inspireren bij het schrijven van 'Soweto Swing'.
