ORIGINAL: silddx Ah, I thought rumba was from South America. My apologies. But I don't generally enjoy its vibe in its traditional application, at least I don't think I do. The words “Rumba” and “Guajira” refer to music forms from Cuba (Central America not South). The idea of “Ida y vuelta” is that after Spain brought European music to Americas, it evolved its own elements via African Slaves and Native people from Mexico on down to Argentina, then returns to Southern Spain to get “flamencoized”. Only the song titles remain in the end. South America has completely different song forms from Mexico and Central America, so becareful generalizing. Typically it is by country, though all Music from the Andes mountains might have a similar flavor. Cumbia from Colombia, Tango from Argentina, Samba from Brazil, Merengue from DR, etc.
