Excerpted from a review

The highlight of the night came with the finale, "En Memoria de Chano Pozo," a pulsating tribute to the Cuban percussionist. Composer David Amram joined Eddins and the orchestra for performance and to instruct the audience on its part. Divided into four rhythm sections , concert-goers became part of an extended passages, percussion section clapping out the steady beat.

After a quiet theme introduced on piano by Amram, the Afro-Cuban rhythms take over. Even as various portions of the orchestra perform their solo passages, the energy of that driving beat crescendos until the entire theater is alive with it.
