Description
This piece contrasts the percussive drive of the piano against the expressive and blustery wind of the accordion. Although much of the piece is tonal, there is a section that features improvisation with tone clusters, bellows shaking (an old accordion stand by), and rather open-ended glissandi. On the whole, Lengua—No Más is an amalgam of tango, funk, and a smattering of Bulgarian rhythm.
While recently visiting the west coast, I ventured upon a highly recommended Mexican restaurant in Pacoima, California. I instinctively asked for lengua (tongue) tacos, as that is generally a delectable dish to be found in such locales. My timing was not the best this time around, however, as it was the day before Christmas. My waitress made it known to me that I had been effectively beaten to the punch this day—“No hay más lengua.”
