Danza de los voladores

"The sound I chose is based on Mexico, where it is about worshipping the gods to bring the end of droughts to their crops. The worshipping is played as four men is spinning around down from the tall wooden pole and one of them is playing a melody dancing on top of the wooden pole. This shows a lot of tension to me where I thought it will match with a fast stressful syncopated beat, so I thought I could make an afro trap beat with a lot of rhythm and a lot of going on."
