Rumba recommendation

Hi guys

In couple weeks, I have my first flamenco gig with my dancer.

Recently, he told me to learn a rumba song for the finale

Can any of you suggest me a rumba song that I can learn fairly quickly? Keep in mind that I'm the only guitarist.

I feel some of Gyspy King's song will fit well, but any other suggestions will be appreciated!

you could simply ask the rumbero of the forum known as rombsix

rumba Palomino by Juan Martin is an easy cheerful one

If you want something easy to learn, you can always go for the classic Tempestad by Juan Serrano. Here is a video of my friend Bassam playing it:

If you like it, let me know, and I'll figure out a way to have you learn it (either through a video, or by sending you the sheet music).

If you don't like it, consider something like La Feria by Juan Martin as well. Gipsy Kings rumbas usually work best with TWO guitarists...

Olé!
