After the success of his debut album "Via Havana", the American pianist Joachim Horsley comes back with a new track "Mountain King Cha Cha". Derived from the the Edvard Grieg’s masterpiece "In the Hall of the Mountain King" (written for Hendrick Ibsen’s theatre piece "Peer Gynt"), this new piece picks up his interbreeding work between European Classical music and Afro-Caribean music, offring to the audience a cheerful and inspired artistic encounter.
