So it looks like I have to learn more Rumba songs in the next few weeks. My flamenco dancer said that we have couple shows coming up and I should learn some rumbas. The only rumbas I know currently are Entre dos Aguas and Juan Serrano's. What other Rumbas I should also learn that are appropriate for the audience? Looks like we're going to be playing at restaurant/lounge kinda thing

Paul Magnussen -> RE: Rumba Repertoire (Sep. 11 2011 23:08:22)
Some possibilities: Río Ancho (from Almoraima) Caña de azúcar (from Siroco) La Lola (Paco Peña) El Inclusero by Paco & Ramón If you don’t want to do the transcription yourself, there’s Herencia latina from Toques Flamencos, and the pieces from Graf-Martínez’s book, which aren’t really top-grade but the audience would probably be happy with them if it‘s the typical audience for this type of stuff. If you’re prepared to spend the bucks for transcriptions, there’s Affedis as well of course.

Kenzo, are you looking for single guitar or two guitar rumbas? For example Entre dos Aguas strikes me as tough to do well without a backing guitar.

Neotriz -> RE: Rumba Repertoire (Sep. 12 2011 1:23:29)
Paul, thanks for the suggestions! Ill definetly look them up Adam, I guess what I'm really looking at is one guitar solo piece. I guess what I'm going to do for the Entre dos Aguas is to have a pre-recorded track and burn it onto a CD (at least that's what I think what I'm going to do) Rumba isn't really favorite palos, but I guess it's good to learn some pieces

Pimientito -> RE: Rumba Repertoire (Sep. 12 2011 9:10:51)
I think Rumba king has the right idea. Popular rumbas like Volare and Bamboleo are easy to work out and are much more effective on stage with a dancer than trying to work out a choreography to a track from sirocco. "Caña de azucar" is horribly hard to perform live and actually will not get the audience reaction of something more mainstream....especially if you are playing a restaurant/lounge. The problem is a lot of non Spanish aficionados will talk about it not really being flamenco etc. Actually flamencos often play popular cheesy rumbas in Spain. Its not like you are going for the union prize here. The trick here is to entertain your public and hopefully get asked back to play again. Rumbas for 2 guitars are a problem and as Adam says "entre dos aguas" sounds terrible without a backing track. The way to get round not having a backing track is to use a Boss loop pedal http://www.amazon.com/BOSS-RC-2-Boss-Loop-Station/dp/B000MG5VBA Here you can record yourself playing some rounds of chords on stage, click the pedal and play solo over what you just played (its a modern day version of what les paul was doing years ago)

Neotriz -> RE: Rumba Repertoire (Sep. 12 2011 12:06:19)
I thought about having a loop pedal while back. I may have to use it, but it might be complicated though (dont have pre-amp on my guitar) to hook it up. In any case, I might have to "arrange" some rumbas of mine own Thanks for the insights everyone!

Pimientito -> RE: Rumba Repertoire (Sep. 12 2011 13:15:49)
You dont need a pre amp. Its battery operated. Just plug the mic cable or pickup cable onto the pedal and the output into your amp. Very easy to use.

Adam -> RE: Rumba Repertoire (Sep. 14 2011 21:54:50)
So I'm going to throw my hat in the ring next to Kenzo's. When a non-aficionao asks you to break out the guitar, a bit of bulería or alegría can be a crowd-pleaser but it's good to have some rumbas too, and I just don't think I have any which really work for solo guitar in a pinch. So I'd be up for any good recommendations too. I don't know about Kenzo and his dancer requirements but personally I don't mind how fancy it is, even something along the lines of the video posted in this thread is useful to have in the repertoire: http://www.foroflamenco.com/tm.asp?m=177211&p=1&tmode=1&smode=1 at 4:45 (not the Paco tientos he plays at the beginning, which is lovely but less of a crowd-pleaser! [:D]).

I sell the tabs of this rumba through my site, but several folks have picked it up from this video without tabs. I was showing it to my friend filming so he could learn it and we could later do a duo. It is not too hard and works well without back up guitar like most other rumbas. You can see other versions of people playing it under "cafe sole" The studio version has a second guitar part, but it does a counter melody rather then just chord strumming. The transcription I sell has both guitar parts:
