i like alot tomatitos rumbas because they are some really funky groovy stuff,being honest im not a big gypsy kings fan. since sanlucar ive been listening to alot more cante and mostly puro jerez cante, la paquera, terremoto, el sordera, el zambo, romerito de jerez, aguejetas, jose merce, el torta its my way to wind down each evening after work and study, doing most of my guitar practice in the mornings when im fresh ive been listening to nothing but solea por buleria all week, that one with diego amaya and el zambo on you tube is dynamite, absolute cracker.

The problem with Rumba is that it is an easier type of beat, and therefore more accessable. Flamenco crossed over into "pop" because of Rumba. Paco is famous because of his "rumba", M. Sanlucar too. Anyone into art knows that the more "pop" something is, the more watered down it is. Also, you have Rumberos that can't do other flamenco styles, so it seems logical to separate rumba into it's own genre, separate from flamenco. Having said all that, rumba strumming on guitar takes a good deal of work, and singing rhythmically is hard too, like buleria. YOu can't do rumba unless you feel it, and have the right soniquete and things like that. It takes years to master like anything else. I have tons of respect for good Rumberos, and they usually have tons of respect for good flamencos as well. I have some rumba strumming patterns I do at www.flamenco-teacher.com as lessons for sale. They are things I have picked up from playing with gitanos from france and other friends that I consider MASTERS of rumba, but I admit I dont' consider myself a master of rumba. I am getting better though! If that is all you do, you will get better, but flamenco is so broad and there is so much to work on it is not common to find great flamencos who are also the best Rumberos and vice versa. Same with singers. Some guys sing Fandangos like no one else, but can't sing Solea or siguiriyas. Hope that helps. Ricardo
