Brass quintet SKU: P2.60031
Composed by Alice Gomez. Chamber music. Published by Potenza Music (P2.60031). El Huapango Guango was initially inspired by the popular orchestral classic, Huapango by Jose Pablo Moncayo. In south Texas the Spanish word guango (pronounced wongo) is slang for describing something that is loose or wobbly. Although my huapango begins with traditional Mexican rhythms and harmonies, it rapidly takes many twists and turns through a harmonic vortex causing it to stray from the familiar huapango style. El Huapango Guango is my attempt to create a new style of this musical genre for the 21st century.
