Potes Suite is a set of four contemporary pieces for flute and guitar composed by the flute and guitar duo ?Nuclear Okra.? The pieces are inspired by the rich tapestry of diverse cultures living in the medieval mountain village of Potes, Spain. The suite incorporates a wide variety of musical styles, rhythms, and techniques drawn from folk, flamenco, Balkan, jazz, blues, country, classical, West African, and Latin American genres. Each piece is approximately four minutes in length. Includes access to online audio.

Fling a contraction of FLute and strING owes its name partly to the violin parts which imitate the flute as well as the short length of the piece and its fast pace.
