Key West is located at the southernmost point of the Florida Keys, a string of small islands at the tip of Florida. The shrimp caught there and the pink color seen on buildings are called "Key West Pink". This pink is symbolic of the city, such as with pink taxis on the street. "Key West Pink!" consists of two sections and is lively and cheerful music based on fundamental Latin music rhythms. The most distinctive feature of the music is dotted note and Latin rhythms. By accurately playing the dotted notes and capturing the unique Latin groove, you can create a catchy atmosphere. Emphasize the backbeat rhythms. "In Latin mood" indicates my desire for the players to fully enjoy the delightful ethnicity of Latin culture. It's a musical experience different from salsa or others. Give it a try!
