	Rumba - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rumba is both a family of music rhythms and a dance style that originated in Africa and traveled via the slave trade to Cuba and the New World.
		The so-called rumba rhythm, a variation of the African standard pattern or clave rhythm, is the additive grouping of an eight pulse bar (one 4/4 measure) into 3+3+2 or, less often, 3+5 (van der Merwe 1989, p.321).
		Rumba is sometimes confused with salsa, with which it shares origins and essential movements.

	Flamenco - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Flamenco is a song, music and dance style which is strongly influenced by the Gitanos, but which has its deeper roots in Moorish and Jewish musical traditions.
		Flamenco was for a long time not really considered an art form worth writing about according to Spaniards.
		The traditional flamenco guitar is made of Spanish cypress and spruce, and is lighter in weight and a bit smaller than a classical guitar, to give the output a 'sharper' sound.

	Features: The Catalan Rumba (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		In flamenco, innovation has always been counterbalanced by a strict and ever-watchful tradition, a tradition which is sometimes accused of inflexibility, but which perhaps has acted as a filter, resulting in a well-established, careful and thus stable and lasting evolution.
		The rumba catalana on the other hand grew and mutated, stopping at nothing, and as a result it became a tasteless and weary joke, which became the backdrop at fairgrounds and at the crudest parties in Spain.
		But perhaps this is a chance for flamenco followers to try to better understand the context and the virtues of the rumba, and to leave behind all the grudges held against it.

	What flamenco is...and is not.
		Flamenco is a generic term applied the body of music, song and dance normally associated with Andalucian Gypsies.
		Flamenco is what it is and it (by definition) can't simply be changed through popular opinion, or manipulated through the mechanical act of endless repetition of a catch phrase like 'New Flamenco'.
		Flamenco fans, especially the younger generation who are actively involved in the art form, will always be tolerant of new ideas and experiments which stretch the boundaries of tradition.

	Palos flamencos: Rumba
		As a flamenco cante (style of song) it was unknown a little over half a century ago, but Catalan gypsies began spreading it from 1940 onwards.
		Rumbas are very rhythmic and suited for dancing, as well as allowing for constant improvisation.
		The traditional flamenco rumba has continued to be the domain of the bailaora (female flamenco dancer), who usually dances alone.

	Introduction to Flamenco - The Flamenco Forms
		Flamenco forms are also often characterized by their emotional content.
		Harmonically, Flamenco is performed in three scale/harmonic structures; the major scale (with a happy feeling), the harmonic minor scale (melancholic), and the Phrygian mode (the tragic flamenco key).
		The Rumba (or Rumba Gitana, to distinguish it from the Cuban version) is a lively, strongly rhythmic popular form, performed in the keys of A minor, E minor, A major, and sometimes in E major, with occasional transitions to other keys (relative major, minor or Phrygian mode).

	Head Butler - Music
		The music of the Gipsy Kings is mostly the Spanish-based rumba flamenco --- a passionate, raspy singer slams the lyrics against a pulsating flamenco melody.
		"Rumba Argelina" means "Algerian Rumba," which suggests a blend of Spanish and African music that's richer, quieter, and, for my taste, far more satisfying.
		Tarifa, for those who don't have their maps of Spain open, is the end of the line --- in ancient days, it was considered, literally, the end of the world.

		Reyes is from one of the most respected flamenco families in France.
		The stars are Nicolas Reyes and lead guitarist and composer Tonino Baliardo, but the trademark sound is based less on their individual talents than on the thick, driving strum of the group's massed acoustic guitars.
		Reyes is proud that the Kings have been able to reach such a wide audience, and he loves the bright sound of rumba.

		The rhinoceros and the giraffe dance rumba to the accompaniment of pelicans and frogs'' sounds and noisel.
		"Rumba Oriental" is actually a tune lifted from the Beijing Opera for which Wayne Wesley contracted Gao Hong on Chinese pipa, a combo that worked out so well that it carried over into other numbers already mentioned.
		These two extremely talented guitarists have produced nearly an hour of smooth, flamenco-style jazz they refer to as "nuevo flamenco" or "rumba flamenca." If you like smooth jazz, great guitar work, or are a fan of Spanish guitar music, "Hypnotic Safari" is a CD you need to listen to.

		It is a great compilation of Flamenco Music with relatively unknown / commercial artists.
		All these decades later, the Gipsy Kings still cast a long shadow on the world of popular flamenco, as evidenced by the forceful opening number on this fine collection, "Rankankin," by Maita Verde, which bears the stamp of the Kings' virile pop-crossover formula.
		All in all, a sweeping and effective overview of modern flamenco, which ably explores the style's rich Arabic and cross-cultural influences.
