[Arrangement Notes for Producer — must be explicit]
- Tempo: 142 BPM (140–145 BPM requested). Keep energy tight and fast.
- Percussion: Punchy kick + conga slap on the groove; dominant congas, tight timbales accents, and crisp claps. Open hi-hat patterns to add push in verses.
- Drums: Kick heavy and punchy, conga slap prominent in low-mid, timbales for accents on 2 & 4, snare rolls ascending into the 8-bar percussion break.
- Brass: Strong hits on 2 & 4 during fills and choruses; stabs should cut through—use short plate reverb on brass.
