This is one of Massada`s greatest electric `guitar songs` written by lead
guitarist Chris Latul back in 1979. The intrumental song Arumbai reflects,
albeit, in a greatly simplified manner, Massada`s trade mark: principally
the characteristic instruments, such as congas, timbales, bongos drums and
numerous other percussion instruments. The very rythmic, swinging music of
Massada is also known as `Latin Rock` or `Percussion Rock`.
Try it and experience the restful inspiration of the rythm. Great song!
