A very exciting and uplifting piece in a Spanish mood. An optional open chorus for marimba and vibraphone is possible. Spanish instruments including cajon, castanets and hand clapping are also used by the players.

Program Notes:
In the year 2001 I did a tour through Taiwan sponsored by the Ju Percussion Group. During a concert there I divided the stage with the Amores Percussion Trio from Spain. For this occasion I decided to write a piece in the Spanish-Flamenco mood, so that I could perform it together with Amores during the concerts we would play together in Taiwan. Valencia reflects my impression from Spain and in particular the state of Valencia that I have visited several times.
