Inspired by the rich cultural tapestry of the city’s Latinx communities, this composition brings together the driving beats of salsa, the syncopated grooves of Hip-Hop, and the sweet, nostalgic melodies of song and bolero, all underpinned by modern harmonic structures and atonal passages. It is an exploration of dance.
Beyond its rhythmic celebration, “Nueva York Tropical” also carries a message of social consciousness. It draws attention to the challenges faced by Latino communities, in the struggles of gentrification. The composition seeks to embody the resilience and spirit of these communities, when the musicians are called upon to chant “Shelter the community for free” repeatedly in protest mode. Through its infectious rhythms, bold atonal sections, and idyllic melodies, the piece becomes both a tribute and a call to action for social justice thru music.
In “Nueva York Tropical”, the music doesn’t just invite you to sway, to dance – it also invites you to reflect, to think and to recognize the vibrant contributions that pop culture can instill in contemporary classical music.
