Mucho Gusto


"Mucho gusto" is an instrumental piece originally recorded by Percy Faith for the 1961 album Mucho Gusto! More Music of Mexico. The piece is, like the rest of the album, influenced by Mexican music. It has a high, galloping tempo and an advanced arrangement, where the melody is played by alternating strings, brass and percussion. The piece is known for its use of whistles and whips, as well as instruments that are typical of Mexican music, like guitars, maracas and trumpets.
Mucho gusto is Spanish for "very nice to meet you".
