Yerbero Moderno
This tune was composed by Nestor Nili around 1950. This version for a saxophone quartet keeps the original Cha-cha-chá and Bolero rhythms of the melody, at letter B. The improvisation of the soprano saxophone in measure 70 can be substituted by the singing of the lyrics at letter J.
Both tumbaos, at letter J and at the solo of the soprano saxophone, can be repeated as many times as needed, until there is a signal to continue with the score.
Tumbaos are usually a repetitive two or four bar rhythmic vamp played by the piano, bass or guitar and they must be played in relation to the clave. In this case, the tumbao is played using two saxophones.
