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!
