THREE TYPES

OF RUMBA
.RUMBA YAMBU
Yambu is the oldest known style of rumba and also the
slowest. The dance is slower and abrupt than the
guaguanco. Dancers of the yambu pride themselves on their
ability to dance in harmony with this rhythm.

. RUMBA GUAGUANCO

Rumba Guaguancó is faster than yambú but has

a similar basic rhythm. It can range from medium
tempos to very fast. The dances involve more
flirtatious movements called the “vacunao”
between a man and a woman, known as a
“Rooster” and “Hen”.
.Rumba Columbia
.

The fastest of the three styles of Rumba, this

rhythm uses a different basic pattern and pulse,
creating a see-saw effect in the way the drums
speak to one another. The dance is traditionally
only danced by a male solo dancer (though
women have begun to dance Columbia as well),
often in competitions to display strength, agility
and ability to dance.
