This is a super fun arrangement of Gloria Estefan’s 1989 hit. The verses are either in unison or two-part- it’s a great place to add a solo or duet. The choruses have great harmonies that repeat throughout, so once the students have them solidly, they will be good to go. There is a breakdown section toward the end where you could feature a dance section, soloist, or maybe a conga player. I would suggest either using the track or adding in instrumentalists to make this arrangement pop.
