Mi Negra, a term of endearment meaning 'my dear.' is a song for a girl who is a great dancer, so put on your dancing shoes and a big smile because this is a fun tune for all. Violinist, composer and educator Jesús Florido has been working for years to bring Latin music to string players. Derived from the rich tradition of string playing in Latin America "Mi Negra" is a dance groove tune based on the traditions of Florido's homeland of Venezuela. He has taken on the task of writing these traditions down since they are mostly aural. This original tune was written for his students so that they could learn some Latin fiddle tunes, but also as a tune that professionals can enjoy playing.
