Hailstork’s title, L’Blatinx, is a mixture of the terms Black and Latinx, and a key to the flavor of this unique work, full of blues, salsa, spicy dissonance, and a mixture of steady grooves with surprises. The work is scored for a trio of C Trumpets, along with footstomping inspired by Black traditions from New Orleans, has a Mariachi feel, and uses Latin rhythms. L’Blatinx is a 4-minute thriller equally appropriate for formal concerts and special occasions; extra percussion is welcome when available. .
