Fuerza Negra by Francisco Perez is a mixed percussion ensemble for 8 to 9 players that draws inspiration from several sources, including Latin, Pop, and Rock music. This piece's name serves as a double meaning, both paying homage to the group who commissioned the piece, and showing support for the Black Lives Matter movement. It has a high-energy mood throughout, with driving rhythmic ideas to maintain that energy from start to finish!
