Pello's Mozambique
Posted: Thu Jul 05, 2012 3:32 pm
The ensemble class I am currently taking is studying Pello's Mozambique. The Kim Atkinson arrangement is our basic guide. I understand that Kim brought the rhythm to Seattle well before my time. I read that Pello's Mozambique was most popular in Europe because that darn Cuban Embargo did not really allow much cultural musical exchange at the time.
Anyway I was hoping that some of our European forum members would suggest various written material/conga rhythm books available on-line for purchase with Pello's Mozambique. I can not read French or Spanish however I can surely figure out rhythm notation. I am not sure when I see various Mozambique notations if they are the New York version. Would like to get a good feel for Pello's composition as arranged by others who may have studied with him.
Thank you, Marcus
