Perez-Chakalaka-P/electronics

Chakalaka by Francisco Perez is an energetic solo for multi-percussion and electronic accompaniment. This piece is heavily influenced by the music of electronic artists such as Andrew Bayer and Mat Zo. It combines elements from a variety of sub-genres ranging from glitch-hop to drum 'n' bass and progressive trance - through the conglomeration of shimmering synths, driving bass lines, and funky rhythms, all outlined by the acoustic sounds from the soloist. The title refers to the motif presented throughout the piece, which is established within the work's opening measures.
