La Calavera

SKU: P2.10027

La Calavera for solo horn was composed one evening while I was looking through a stack of loteria cards. The loteria is a popular and traditional game in Mexico. It is similar to bingo in that players are given cards with pictures on them and have to place them in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line as a caller announces them. There are fifty-four loteria cards, which have pictures of familiar objects such as a woman, a rooster, the devil, watermelon, and the moon. When a card is drawn, the call has to spontaneously create a rhyme using the name of the object on the card.
