Que No Pare Mi Canto
Arrangement for SSA
Que No pare mi Canto (Never Stop Singing) was inspired by a very close friend of the composer who had cancer. The song is written in the bomba genre; an Afro- Puerto Rican danceable music rhythm rooted in the island’s African slavery history. The composer chose the style of sicá, one of many music rhythms in this genre. This style moves in a walking pace (andante) which reminded the composer how her beautiful friend “walked” her cancer journey, never stopping her singing while being empowered by music!
