Jump in the Line (Shake, Señora) is a calypso song composed, by a Lord Kitchener on November 17, 1961, from the album “Jump Up Calypso” Most famously recorded by singer Harry Belafonte in 1961. Appropriate for a variety of occasions, it is striking, memorable piece for any concert bands repertoire, and can be used as a method to teach elements of the calypso music genre. It is in the key of C major, beginning with slow melodic riff introduction, played by the woodwinds, establishing a stable calypso style. The rest of the piece gains pace as the remainder of he band joins in with rhythmic and melodic ostinto in a ABA form.
“Jump in the Line (Shake, Señora)” uses medium concert band skill level, perfect for learning and mastering calypso style.
