MONSTERA is an ornamental plant native to tropical America. It is derived from the Latin word monstarum = monster. The leaf design is quite unusual. It certainly looks like a monster. I used calypso rhythms for this piece. It is said that the roots and rhythm of the music come from the fact that African slaves who were brought to Japan long ago could not communicate with each other in their own language, and they communicated with each other through music. In that sense, calypso rhythms have a monster power similar to that of words by themselves. Moreover, it is an incredibly bright rhythm. In Hawaii, MONSTERA is said to be cherished as a plant that leads the light of hope, and I tried to create a dance song that is bright but also has a little bit of shade.
