I decided I wanted to try to do something with "The Mozambique Beat" (look it up, I just found it yesterday) and started playing around with it. At some point I realized I'd managed to drop a beat, it had something a little off kilter about it. I also through no serious fault of my own introduced some chromatic elements. I decided to make that the "A" (verse) part, and the more faithful take on the Mozambique beat for the chorus... it offers a audio release after the tension of the more ugly A section (the bridge is also in 15/16, but it's a bit more melodic). It's hard to keep track of all these little bits, just one 16 note every bar missing, so I thought of it in terms of $4.00... if you wanted to buy a Latte, you'd only have $3.75. That's how it goes sometimes.

Really good sound here. I did look up The Mozambique Beat - thanks for introducing it. You did very well to learn about it and use it in this piece in just a day. Impressive. PS I like the chromatic parts.
