Rumba Flamenca, Flamenco Rumba, Rumba Gitana or Gypsy Rumba is a style of
Flamenco music from
Spain. Its style derives from the influence of Afro-
Cuban Rumba brought back from Cuba to Spain in the 19th century.A characteric difference from Flamenco Rumba is that the rhythm is played with
guitars and hand
clapping, while the Cuban one uses
drums and
claves. However, modern guitarists such as
Paco de Lucia and
Tomatito have incorporated
congas and
cajon to the percussion section, as well as the hadclapping. The main rhythmic difference of the Rumba Flamenca as opposed to other, more traditional styles such as
Bulerias and
Fandango, is the tempo, which is slower than other flamenco forms. Unlike Cuban rumba, it does not prominently feature
clave.
