The final two Timba tracks are both by Piloto. "Pelirroja", (Spanish for "redhead"), featuring the album's most beautiful and intricate chord changes, is one of the very first Timba tracks to go beyond the territory of Jazz standards and "salsa romantica" to the altered bass/poly-chordal world of the Yellowjackets, Steely Dan and Weather Report, setting the stage for Timba's most harmonically adventurous group, Klimax. Listen to the beautiful harmonic shadings the bassline casts on the melody in this excerpt from the cuerpo. [audio example 53]. "Pelirroja" also continues early CH's wild approach to clave. At 2:11 the horns play a humorous quote from "El Manisero" which pounds out 2:3 clave only to abrupt change to 3:2, "Clave License" style in the very next measure! [audio example 54] It switches back in similar dramatic fashion at 3:44 as the bass plays an extended pedal tone. [audio example 55]. From this point on the arrangement soars into its climax, "tremenda hoja eres tú" which brings back musical material from the coro of the earlier track "Tremenda Atmósfera" ("tremenda atmósfera, mamá"). Just before the ending is an acknowledgement to the composer Piloto, leading to the final timba track, also by Piloto -- the re-recording of CH's first hit, "Me Sube la Fiebre", described in great detail in our review of that album, and in our more technical article on CH's clave changes.
