BYU Wind Symphony - Latin Dances (2024) [Official Digital Download]

The BYU Wind Symphony proudly announces the release of Latin Dances, the ensemble’s first album under the direction of Shawn Smith. This vibrant collection features eight tracks that explore a variety of dance styles from across Latin America, with music from Cuba, Argentina, and Brazil. Listeners will experience the region’s rich cultural rhythms and melodies throughout the album.

A standout feature is the debut of three original compositions from Brazil, presented for the first time in the United States. These pieces, widely popular among Brazilian bands, bring a distinctive flair to the collection. Over the past 15 years, Director Shawn Smith has conducted extensively in Central and South America, cultivating a deep love and appreciation for Latin music—one he now shares through this project.
