Dissatisfied with a comfortable but uninspiring life in London, Richard Neill decided he'd like to play double bass on stage with a top Cuban Sonband. But- 1. He couldn't play bass 2. He had no discernible musical talent 3. He didn't know any Cuban Sonbands. Not put off by mere details, he headed for Cuba. This is the story of a year spent on that unique island - a country still dominated by the figure of Castro. And the place where our hero casts aside his English inhibitions and his own musical inadequacy in search of La Bomba(his rhythm . . .) Funny, self-deprecating and life-affirming, Looking for La Bombais a magical mix of McCarthy's Barand the Buena Vista Social Club - a book for anyone who's ever dreamed an impossible dream.

La Gringa is about a young woman’s search for her identity. Maria Elena Garcia goes to visit her family in Puerto Rico during the Christmas holidays and arrives with plans to connect with her homeland. Although this is her first trip to Puerto Rico, she has had an intense love for the island, and even majored in Puerto Rican Studies in college. Once Maria is in Puerto Rico, she realizes that Puerto Rico does not welcome her with open arms. The majority of the Puerto Ricans on the island consider her an American – a gringa – and Maria considers this a betrayal. If she’s a Puerto Rican in the United States and an American in Puerto Rico, Maria concludes that she is nobody everywhere. Her uncle, Manolo, spiritually teaches her that identity isn’t based on superficial and external definitions, but rather is an essence that she has had all along in her heart. This play is published in a bilingual edition; if you are applying for licensing rights, please state which version you wish to produce.

Mike Story blends Latin rock and a great pop tune into a great arrangement for your beginning band. You'll have great fun teaching these simple Latin rock rhythms, and with plenty of unison lines, it will come together with minimal rehearsal time. Once the band and the audience hear the first bar of melody, they'll be hooked. Alto sax has a written-out solo, and you can count on playable ranges and clear articulations throughout. Another great chart by Mike Story.
