La murga

Willie Colón & Héctor Lavoe — La murga (En vivo)

Music by Héctor Lavoe / Willie Colón · Arrangement by Willie Colón · Transcription/adaptation by Christian Valdés

A complete, performance-ready chart for "La murga" — the Willie Colón and Héctor Lavoe classic from Asalto Navideño (1971), the Fania-era anthem that put the Panamanian murga rhythm on every salsa dance floor. Parade-style trombone figures over a driving tumbao, a coro the whole crowd shouts back, and the swagger of the original two-trombone front line — this adaptation captures the arrangement as Colón and Lavoe played it live, hand-engraved by Noted Sound for full salsa ensemble. Includes a full score and parts for two trumpets, two trombones, flute, alto, tenor, and baritone saxophone, guitar, piano (plus a cued piano part for leading the band from the keys), bass, and percussion. Clean, modern engraving with clear rehearsal marks throughout, built for real rehearsal and performance use — the kind of chart a working band can put on the stand and play tonight. A salsa-dura standard, ready to add straight to your band's book.
