Ron Korb’s “La La Formosa” is a lively instrumental piece that brings the rhythm and warmth of Taiwan’s southern coast to life. With its rich mix of Latin American and Caribbean textures, the track invites listeners into the laid-back atmosphere of Kenting beach - sunlit by day, alive with music and markets by night. The percussion is vibrant and joyful, and the groove carries a steady, danceable pulse that’s hard to resist.
At the center of it all is Korb’s masterful flute playing - both bass and concert flute - layered over expressive piano, smooth acoustic bass, and light touches of ukulele. The rhythm section, led by Rick Shadrach Lazar of Samba Squad, adds a wide range of Brazilian instruments that give the music its festive parade samba feel.
“La La Formosa” is taken from Korb’s Global Canvas album, and showcases his continued exploration of global sounds through simple yet compelling arrangements. Without words, this piece captures a sense of place and movement that feels both grounded and free. It’s a track that invites you to listen closely ... or just get up and move.
