This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

This is one of Massada's greatest electric 'guitar songs' written by lead

guitarist Chris Latul back in 1979. The intrumental song Arumbai reflects,

albeit, in a greatly simplified manner, Massada's trade mark: principally

the characteristic instruments, such as congas, timbales, bongos drums and

numerous other percussion instruments. The very rythmic, swinging music of

Massada is also known as 'Latin Rock' or 'Percussion Rock'.

Try it and experience the restful inspiration of the rythm. Great song!
