Rhumba To the Stars from American Popular Piano Level 6 has an urgent feel, with an on-beat cowbell and the ride cymbal powering along in eighth notes. The Latin, rhumba-inflected rhythm is in the bass drum and snare parts:  The bass part adds to the urgent, almost melodramatic air, using a pedal note and largely off-beat rhythms::  The piano part uses rich chords, all over a pedal B, helping to create an emotional , highly charged atmosphere:  American Popular Piano Repertoire Prep Level – A Little Rhumba Repertoire Level 6 – To the Stars Repertoire Level 7 – Lazy Day iTunes Mark Hummel – Highway Rhumba Klezmer Conservatory Band – Miami Beach Rhumba Related Styles Habanera Bossa Nova../../2008/6/30_SixRepTOC.html../../2008/12/30_PrepRepTOC.html../../2008/6/30_SixRepTOC.html../../2008/5/31_SevenRepTOC.htmlhttp://itunes.apple.com/us/album/highway-rhumba/id365198615?i=365198653http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/miami-beach-rhumba/id301067943?i=301068010../1/8_Habanera.html../1/4_BossaNova.htmlshapeimage_2_link_0shapeimage_2_link_1shapeimage_2_link_2shapeimage_2_link_3shapeimage_2_link_4shapeimage_2_link_5shapeimage_2_link_6shapeimage_2_link_7
