#27 Conga (Gloria Estefan)

Instructions: VERY FAST 220 BPM

Most of the song as YouTube, but slower and we make it ours with the tumbaos and rhythms that we feel fit the song. We extend the song at 3:55 by a brass section from live concerts https://youtu.be/eeKxQ9LQAB4?t=182 (brass melody, ad lib solos, cue: brass melody again). We then add 1 coro, and finish the song from 3:55. Please see ireal for the exact form.

Cha cha. We go as YouTube till 2:10. But every chorus is doubled. After 2:10 there are instruments solos, which we end by the 6bars rising (in D) ended by a triola. Then brass + solos, then one last round: break, Oye, and end with break. Last 2 breaks we end with a “Ha”.
