That tune is actually a pretty well known pop Cuban song made into a flamenco rumba.

A cuban pop song, really? I was gonna ask someone if they could figure out the chords so I could practise improvising over them - I thought they were quite funky!

It needs to be more jazzy to be a proper flamenco rumba.

Yeah, he sure jazzed it up there or more like latin jazzed up. My mistake Ailsa, it's not really pop, more like Afro-Cuban . What do i know, I am just an amateur.
