Alianza, the Spanish word for "alliance," is represented here through the high-energy blending of Latin and swing styles. The main melody seamlessly integrates the two styles. There is a written-out jazz solo for trumpet 2, and every section of the band is featured at some point. The lead trumpet range is to written A above the staff. Optional parts are included for flute, horn in F, baritone/tenor sax, tuba, and percussion. A refreshing challenge! Highly recommended!

Here's a Latin chart that your band will really love playing! A huge intro by the full band gives way to an easy mambo dance chart. There's plenty of fun from the rhythm section, and a soaring trumpet solo helps establish an authentic Cuban feel. Written or ad-lib solos for trumpet, trombone, tenor sax, and alto sax add to the carnival atmosphere. It all comes to a finish with an appropriate quote from The Peanut Vendor.
