Good guess, but no.

It's a somewhat obscure track, and it was definitely not latin/samba in the original. In fact, the original was such a radically different feel, that I think even the most hardcore Zappa fans might not be able to guess it.

A few weeks after that gig, I played the song again at the same cafe with my friend Dan on drums, who is a serious Zappa fan with an encyclopedic knowledge of his stuff. We grooved on it for about 10 minutes, and he didn't guess what it was.

Good luck. :-)
