Jazz Ensemble Jazz Ensemble - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1024916 Composed by Manny Cepeda. Contemporary,Jazz,Latin,Standards. Score and parts. 52 pages. Manny Cepeda #6808599. Published by Manny Cepeda (A0.1024916). Manny's main theme of this song is Cuba's port of entry where the slaves were brought to Cuba. The term Matanzas in Spanish means massacre as many of the slaves who were transported to Cuba never got there from their harsh treatment by their captors and the horrible conditions of the ship they were being transported. Manny also uses Afro-beat a rhythm not used by only familiar with it. The rhythm and the minor key Manny uses created a very mysterious and haunting feel. From that feel, he then moves into Afro-Cuban Son to brighten the sadness at the beginning of the song. For your percussionist performing this song, care must be taken to play exactly what is written or your song won't have the correct feeling and impact on your listening audience!
