athrane77 -> Diferences between Rumba and Tangos nowadays (Dec. 6 2013 10:05:19)

I just have discovered that my so called tangos composition is a rumba

(sorry for unclean sloppy playing)
But I have the impression that many guitarists switching between 1-3 rumba and 2-4 tangos groove.
I'm a bit confused now, I don't know how to make clear that my falseta or whatever is tangos and not rumba.
Is it possible to change that rumba falseta to tangos?

Can't see the vid here at work. Would like to ask this anyway though:

Isn't tangos traditionally accented on 3 only?

and Rumba traditionally on (1), (2,5) & (4)?

sounds like tangos to me....

I guess if the singer is singing tangos and you play that falseta then it's tangos, but if the singer is singing rumba and you play that falseta, then it's a rumba.... you might have to play it faster then though....

I would go with rumba myself ...mainly because of the harmony ....although there is no set rule ..I am hearing your falseta more as a IV - I,, thing (Minor) rather than semitone phrygian sound ....

thats all

I agree with Mark Indigo, except for the speed part. Rumba can be slower and tangos faster, or vice versa if the tangos are lentos.

I constantly get confused, because the Spanish will often play rumbas with palmas and cajon from tangos as the rhythm section ( as opposed to the afro-cuban rhythms we usually hear with rumba)

Also I don't know if the cante part of tangos follow precise rules like some other forms...I intend to make a thread sometime to see if one of the resident experts can explain which palos follow precise rules for the vocal song structure.

Sounds pretty good Jof (except for the mic)

sounds like tangos to me mate =)
and a very nice sounding one too.

I like your piece record some more of it



machopicasso -> RE: Diferences between Rumba and Tangos nowadays (Dec. 18 2013 7:32:52)

To me it sounds like a rumba. And it sounds like a rumba even before the falseta begins.

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to use that falseta within tangos, though. Perhaps you should try playing traditional tangos compas/chords and, once that's in place, insert the falseta but with the tangos rhythmic accents.

Nice falseta, by the way.
