Feliciano Arango
La Expresiva

One of the classic pieces from the early years of Timba, this shows some of Feliciano's very unique approach to the tumbao. Bringing a heavy Jaco Pastorious influence, Feliciano rarely plays the classic "2+, 4" tumbao, but rather brakes the groove into funky syncopations, melodies with the vocalist (Issac Delgado during his NG La Banda years), and high register runs. You can find this song on the NG La Banda album En La Calle. This is a serious study in Timba, so take some time looking at the intricacies of this one!
