A Maroon Hog's Rebel Frog

This Is Like Jazz! by Ivan Trevino (commissioned by Caballito Negro and five other duos) is a groove-heavy piece that mirrors Turkmen music's rhythmic and metric complexity. The lyrical, percussive contrabass flute lines riff with the marimba and spoken word, creating a narrative of Trevino’s time in the former Soviet republic of Turkmenistan, where self-expression is tightly controlled, and therefore a revelation to young musicians there.

This Is Like Jazz!

American composer David P. Jones was inspired by the apartheid struggle to write Music For South Africa. The work in three parts - Amandla (power), Ububele (empathy) and Hamba Kahle (farewell) - draws from traditional South African vocal and instrumental music, and the sounds of Johannesburg night-club jazz.
