Written for one 4-octave marimba, the arrangements in The Mexican Marimba attempt to recreate the traditional marimba style of street musicians so common in larger cities of Mexico. Street musicians make their living by playing at restaurants and other locations frequented by local persons and tourists. Since these groups often move from location to location, the smaller marimba tenore is preferred, thus the arrangements for a single 4-octave instrument. A terrific anthology of traditional Mexican tunes! Perfect for the instrument!
