Three tracks on this release are even shorter -- but this is how the Cuban-born Virelles makes his music. He grew up in a musical family (father: singer-songwriter; mother: flautist with the Santiago de Cuba Symphony) and studied with Henry Threadgill.

"several familes function within one unit: this dynamic symbolizes multicultural interaction."

Whatever Diaz is saying is definitely integral with the rest of the sound.
