Flamenco Pop - Rumba

The rumba is now part of the repertoire of all flamenco artists. Even though it originated in Cuba, the various Gypsy groups including the Amayas, Ojos de Brujo, and the Gypsy Kings have popularised the form across the world and today’s young guitarist continue to compose new rumbas. And let's not forget a very high point - the release of Entre dos Aguas by Paco de Lucía. Marcos discusses the history of the genre, its evolution and plays some rumba rhythms.Follow us on Twitter ⁠@flamencopodYou can hear our musical choices spread across the podcast on Spotify.
