"Sica" is one of Puerto Rico's Folkloric rhythms. The patriarch of Bomba & Plena, "Rafael Cepeda Atiles" was Manny's Uncle who taught him the beginnings of his musical lessons. Manny now pays tribute to his Uncle and the Rhythm of "Bomba/Sica" on his original composition "A Puerto Rico." This arrangement is set for a small Afro-Cuban band comprising 2 Trumpets, 3 Saxes (Alto, Tenor & Bari Sax),...

Fiery Mambo style composition from Manny Cepeda. Manny remembers Tito Puente Sr. when he composed this song. The pace of the chart moves you forward in time to the style of the Mambo's best compositions. Manny's arrangement for Little Big Band adds a new dimension to his already published Big Band Chart composition.

Afro-Cuban style original composition from Manny Cepeda. The "Son" style is one of the favorite musical styles of Cuba. Manny has taken this style and created a composition featuring the "Cuba Tres" guitar of Cuba. This arrangement is set for a small Afro-Cuban band comprising 2 Trumpets, 3 Saxes (Alto, Tenor & Bari Sax), 1 Trombone, piano, bass, and Afro-Cuban Percussion (Congas, Timbales, Bon...

Y tú? is a straight-no-chaser Mambo. Based on an idea of "who plays the best solo!" This is a fast-paced Mambo composed by Manny Cepeda as he remembers his early days performing as a backup drummer for artists from all over South America and Latin America. The club was housed in the "Hotel Intercontinental" in Condado, San Juan, Puerto Rico. This is where Manny sharpens his reading abilities st...

You can't get any closer to the taste of "Son Cubano" unless you visit Cuba. Manny has recreated the style and the flavor of the Cuban Son in this song. The montunos played by the piano are original style so if you can get your piano player to read what is written the sound will be awesome. The bass has just a few spots to play ad-lib, but most of the song must be played as written to get the f...

Manny chooses the theme of "Afro-Cuban Songo" for this musical piece. He first learned this rhythm from his travels to Senegal and Cameron, Africa. The harmonies are based on the Pentatonic minor scale with a heavy influence on Blues. The piano part is rich with traditional "montunos" from the 70's Fania All-stars style, not your new style of Salsa montunos. Manny also uses Altered Extended cho...

Manny remembers his early days as being a young musician when many times most of the performances he used to play started around midnight (Media Noche). The chart has a couple of "cliche" for the written optional bass solo. He borrows some of them from the famous bass player "Cachao" from some of his solo riffs. For the bass player performing this chart, Manny offers a written bass solo with al...
