Río de Libertad

Afro-Cuban anthem with mid-tempo bata-inspired percussion, rumbling congas, handclaps, and call-and-response choruses; verse rides sparse drums and river atmosphere, pre-chorus opens with stacked chants and a rising coro, chorus lands with full polyrhythms and group voices. Lead vocal is warm, close-mic, with shouted doubles and haloed ad-libs. Ear candy: conch shell swells, woodblock pickup, and a lifted drum break before the final chorus. Bright, earthy, and communal mix with deep low end.
