Tico Tico No Fuba (Sparrow in the Cornmeal) is a crowd-pleasing arrangement for percussion ensemble, but also fun for the performers. This is a high-energy Grade 4/medium-advanced soca (soul-calypso) guaranteed to add variety to your program. Duration: 2:00.

Instrumentation: Marimba 1, Marimba 2, Marimba 3, Marimba 4, Drum Set, Congas and Shaker.

The Marimba 4 part (bass clef) can be played on bass guitar. The conga and shaker parts are optional, making this arrangement playable by 5-7 players.
