Program Notes ¡Higuita! is a short encore for marimba quartet on one instrument. Composed for the British percussion quartet 4-MALITY by Stephen Whibley (BBC Concert Orchestra percussionist), it takes inspiration from a television documentary about the former Colombian goalkeeper, René Higuita, and his crazy shenanigans! René Higuita is best known for creating the scorpion kick, his mad antics at the 1990 World Cup in Italy, and for his run-ins with the law. ¡Higuita! is a mad-fast guaracha which aims to capture the entertaining eccentricities of the ex-footballer nicknamed ‘El Loco’ (“The Madman”).
Performance Notes ¡Higuita! requires one 5-octave (low C) marimba. Since all four players share the marimba, it’s ideal if the parts are memorized.
