Kwazulu Zam - Kwela Style (South Africa) [Ken:AM17050]

Kwazulu Zam - Kwela Style (South Africa). By: Rossi. Mixed Ensemble. Instrumentation: 3 horn parts (flute/alto sax/trumpet/soprano sax, trombone/ alto sax/trumpet/tenor sax, trombone/ baritone sax/tenor sax) plus rhythm section (piano, guitar, bass, and drums).

Based on a traditional South African song form called mbaquanga which uses a repeated (cyclical) two or four measure harmonic progression, this piece in the kwela style is played with a strong swing feel. The melodies and riffs featured should be played in a loose, relaxed style.
