Composition of the month? I see that's also going around in Colombia (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

capriccio

'composition of the month?' is the definition.
'capriccio' can be an answer for 'composition' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the 'of the month?' bit.

'i see that's also going around in colombia' is the wordplay.
'i see' becomes 'capric' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'that's also' says to put letters next to each other.
'around' says to take the centre.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'colombia' becomes 'co' (abbreviation).
The middle of 'going' is 'i'.
'i' inserted inside 'co' is 'cio'.
'capric'+'cio'='CAPRICCIO'

(Other definitions for capriccio that I've seen before include "Kind of free composition" , "A lively piece of music" , "Lively work" , "Lively and free musical piece" , "Strauss opera" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
