[El Gran Salseron]

 

Genre:  Rumba/Jazz

 

Artist:  Various  ( This song is on a CD I had laying around loose with no cover.  I have no idea as to how I came into its possession.  I have the individual artists' names but not the name of the group.  The name of the CD is "Afro-Cuban Project." )

 

Song Title:  Rumbata

 

Translation:  Rhumba

 

General Theme:  He's singing about how wonderful the rumba is.

 

Side Note:  A "rumbata" is the main percussion instrument in this type of music.  Turn up the volume.  The file has been edited.  The slow and boring start has been removed.  By the end of this rumba you'll be accidentally knocking over furniture.  If you don't like the percussion and rhythms in this song then you are denying your own primal genes and/OR you have cheap speakers.  :-)

I'm going to use this song as my closing number each week so That's All Folks, for tonight!
