“I wrote “2/3’s Adventure” to commemorate our trip over to Cuba. The song itself has a traveling phase that starts in a generic mambo pattern and goes directly into a swing, then into a guajira. I remember when we debuted it in Cuba. The people started laughing when the rhythm went from swing to a guajira because they didn’t think we knew what a guajira was.”
– Carlos Henriquez
