In Cuban music rumba is a genre involving dance percussion and song. There are three main forms: yambú guaguancó and Columbia. Rumba is an amalgamation of several transplanted African dance and drumming traditions combined with Spanish influences. People of African descent in Havana and Matanzas originally used the word rumba as a synonym for party.
