What I don't get about guys who absolutely dominate the instrument playing things like Bulerias and Tangos etc. is why they would stoop to playing Rumbas in the style of gipsy kings. There are plenty of rumbas out there that are more a solo piece and can be challenging and fun to play. Off the top of my head, Herencia Latina, La Lola, Rumbeando la Milonga - all by Paco Pena - La Feria by Juan Martin - (Sorry, broke the JM PP rule again) I think Paco de Lucia has one called Rumba Improvisada. Like these or not, they are good benchmark pieces which show how arpegiated chords can be used to create the Rumba rythmn. As far as a darker or deeper Rumba, I can't get enough of "Tres Notas para decir Te Quiero" by Vicente Amigo. Awesome. (still on the happy side but amazing nonetheless) The solo Rumba style of Juan Serrano from "La Tempestad" is one that I would avoid. (a little strumming and a fill, a little strumming and a fill, a little strumming and a fill, ad nauseum) So overall I'd agree with the poster who suggested that you wrtie your own. As controversial a figure as he is, the Professor Diaz (who is completely dominating youtube btw) has a great vid on the arpegios for rumbas in the style of Paco de Lucia. That could be the basis of a great original. Stoney
