	Arthur Greenburg's History of Rumba, Mambo and Cha Cha
		International Style Cuban Rumba is danced to (Bolero Tempo) relatively slower music than the peppy music that arrived in New York City, (often referred to as Guaracha.) The International Cuban Rumba starts with a preparation step on the Right Foot with the ensuing step, a Forward Rock Left Foot on the 2 beat.
		When we were taught to start the "Cuban Rumba" (We called it the Mambo!) we would sway to the music and change weight from side to side on the 4 & 1, with feet stationary, about shoulder width apart, and holding your partner securely, she would do the same thing.
		The Rumba music was the first music to emanate from Cuba and it migrated to Miami Beach and then travelled all the way to New York City and the first dance that was taught to that music was a box step called by American Teachers, "Rumba", or sometimes "Rhumba".

	Clave (rhythm) - Enpsychlopedia
		The clave serves as a tool for temporal organization, and essentially all Afro- Cuban music of Yoruban descent (including Cuban popular music such as salsa) is based around the clave rhythm.
		Although the actual term clave is mostly used in the context of Afro-Cuban music, the rhythm also permeates Rock and Roll and Jazz.
		This is a fundamental difference between the Cuban conception of clave and other rhythmic timelines found in African and African-Diaspora music, which often simply mark recurring cycles of time.

		When I was taught this dance in the late l940's it was explained to me that the hip movements called Cuban Motion were to be manifested on 4&1 as well as the fwd and back "charges" taken on the 2 beats in the music.

	Rumba (dance) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Rumba is a dance organically related to the rumba genre of Afro-Cuban music.
		Rumba is thought to have contributed to the origin of the cha-cha-cha, and indeed most figures (if not all, somehow) can be reinterpreted in cha-cha-cha.

	Rumba Lingala as Colonial Resistance by Jesse Samba Wheeler
		Rumba Lingala's signature rhythm, according to my analysis, is a duple meter with a clavé beat most similar to that of Cuban son (itself similar to 12/8 bell patterns found in many parts of West and Central Africa).
		Rumba Lingala emerged in the 1940s in the cities of Boma and Matadi in the Lower Congo region, and in Léopoldville and Brazzaville in the Stanley Pool region.
		[6] The rumba itself sprang from the mixture of the folk musics of the Spanish slavers and the African captives brought to Cuba, seventy percent of whom were from the Congo River basin.

	Boogalu Productions - Ceremonial Afro-Cuban Music - Cuban Music and Dance - Salsa Videos - DVDs
		Bat drums are traditionally used for religious ceremonies that call for a deep religious foundation (fundamento) of the drums and their drummers, both of which have to pass a complex initiation process, centered around a spirit called A—, which is settled inside the drums.
		A tambor or toque de santo that employs fundamento drums (bat-a—), is divided in four sections: the oru seco (oru igbod), the oru cantado (oru eya-aranla), the gemilere (iban-bal—), and the cierre.
		The significant difference between the or with bat drums and the or with shekeres consists in the fact that bat drums play two distinct or cycles in the beginning of a ceremony.
