Rumba is both a family of music rhythms and a dance style that originated in Africa and traveled via the African slave tradeslave 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 rhythmadditive grouping of an eight pulse (music)pulse bar (one 4/4 measure (music)measure) into 3+3+2 or, less often, 3+5 (van der Merwe 1989, p.321). Its variants include the Bossa nova#Structurebossa nova rhythm. Original Cuban rumba is highly polyrhythmic, and as such is often far more complex than that the examples cited above.
Ballroom Rumba and Rhumba - There is a ballroom dance, also called Rumba, based on Cuban Rumba and Son. Also, still another variant of Rumba music and dance was popularized in the United States in 1930s, which was almost twice as fast, as exemplified by the popular tune, ''The Peanut Vendor''. This type of "Big Band Rumba" was also known as Rhumba. The latter term still survives, with no clearly agreed upon meaning; one may find it applied to Ballroom, Big Band, and Cuban rumbas.
Gypsy Rumba - In the 1990s the FranceFrench group Gypsy Kings of SpainSpanish descent became a popular New Flamenco group by playing ''Rumba Flamenca'' (or rumba gitana, Catalan rumba) music.
African Rumba - A style called "Rumba" music has been popular in Africa since the 1950s. Some of the more well known Rumba artists include Franco Luambo, OK Jazz, Dr. Nico, Sam Mangwana, and Tabu Ley Rochereau. Later, the music evolved into Soukous.
Cuban Rumba - Rumba arose in Havana in the 1890s. As a sexually-charged Afro-Cuban dance, rumba was often suppressed and restricted because it was viewed as dangerous and lewd.Later, Prohibition in the United States caused a flourishing of the relatively-tolerated cabaret rumba, as American tourists flocked to see crude ''sainetes'' (short plays) which featured racial stereotypes and generally, though not always, rumba.Cubanmusic Perhaps because of the mainstream and middle-class dislike for rumba, danzón and (unofficially) son montuno became seen as "the" national music for Cuba, and the expression of Cubanismo. Rumberos reacted by mixing the two genres in the 30s, 40s and 50s; by the mid-40s, the genre had regained respect, especially the guaguanco style.Rumba is sometimes confused with salsa musicsalsa, with which it shares origins and essential movements. There are several rhythms of the Rumba family, and associated styles of dance: Yambú (slow; the dance often involving mimicking old men and women walking bent) Guaguancó (medium-fast, often flirtatious, involving pelvic thrusts by the male dancers, the ''vacunao'') Columbia (fast, aggressive and competitive, generally danced by men only, occasionally mimicking combat or dancing with knives) Columbia del Monte (very fast)All of these share the instrumentation (3 conga drums or cajones, claves, palitos and / or guagua, lead singer and coro; optionally chekeré and cowbells), the heavy polyrhythms, and the importance of clave.
Rumba rhythm - The rhythm which is known now as "rumba rhythm" was popular in European music beginning in the 1500s until the later baroque musicBaroque, with classical music era composers preferring syncopations such as 3+2+3. It reappeared in the nineteenth century. (ibid, p.272) Examples include:
