Performance Notes………The performer is encouraged to enhance and develop all parts using theirown musicianship and interpretation, and ad-lib sections may be used to expand and explore technical and stylistic boundaries. Douper Souper - Township/FunkThis is an Afro -Pop dance tune, which generally focuses on groove consistency and groove development. The guitar part includes some technical aspects, which add interest and tension while remaining fluid. Flexibility with the rhythmic phrase and time -flow presents opportunitiesfor individualistic creativity.Cubism - Afro/Jazz The relaxed groove here continues throughout with a laid back feel coupled with elements of energy and tension. For the guitar the groove develops, while maintaining the original feel and playing a supporting role to the lead instruments. With plenty of spaces for self-expression the D section allows the performer to open up with potential for rhythmic interplay with the drums. Move the Groove - Latino Funk/FusionStarting with its latinesque intro this groove is relaxed and yet develops to have a more edgy feel using rhythmic displacement. The C-section for the guitar requires a strong sense of individual time-flow while there are sections through out which provide the opportunity for the performer to express a sense of Individuality, within a given structure. The juxtaposition and displacement of the drums throughout which increases in sections C+D creates a platform for exciting rhythmic interplay.
