(3:30 to 3:45) is very short and it is directly after the trumpet solo. All the
instruments played dotted chords and build up with crescendo to a finale.
This piece is significant due to many reasons. It includes many styles and
techniques of Latin Jazz music such as syncopation, improvisation and dotted
rhythm. Its dance-like rhythm and improvisation melodies are very catchy and
easy to dance to. The use of bongos is also very important since Latin music
has some influence from African music. Also, the bongos really brought out
the syncopation rhythm of the music. Tito Puente is known for his
arrangement and composition of all these features.
