Higuita! (4 players)

By Stephen Whibley

Inspired by Columbian soccer star Rene Higuita, this is a fast paced guaracha style piece for four players on 1 marimba.  At such a fast tempo, players will have fun trying to coordinate their movements around each other, as parts will often run into each other on the instrument.  This is an exciting, high energy piece that makes for a great encore to any concert.
