Rumba in Spain

Rumba in Spain might be a better title for the article, as there is some difference between Flamenco Rumba, Catalan Rumba and, nowadays, Pop/Rock Rumba. All three of them derive from flamenco, but the Caribbean influence turns Spanish rumba almost into a subgenre of its own, not just another flamenco style, but rather like a fusion. Contrary to what many foreigners believe, Flamenco is not so popular in Spain, as it requires a special taste and knowledge of it to fully appreciate it. It's rather those derivative styles like Gypsy rumba that have been more popular during the 2nd part of the 20th century, and now many Spaniards like listening to Pop/Rock Rumba, a sort of fusion between Gypsy rumba and pop/rock. By saying Gypsy rumba, I include both Flamenco and Catalan rumba, as both have traditionally been performed by Spanish gypsies (Andalusia and Catalonia being the two regions in Spain with the most important Gypsy minorities). Usually Flamenco Rumba sounds closer to Flamenco, while Catalan Rumba is a bit quicker and the Caribbean influence is more noticeable. Some Catalan rumbas are also in the Catalan language instead of in Spanish. Representatives of these three styles could be:

Flamenco rumba: Los Chichos - Te Vas Me Dejas (You Go and Leave Me)
Catalan rumba: Peret - Gitana Hechichera (Gypsy Charming Woman)
Pop/Rock rumba: Estopa - Vino Tinto (Red Wine)

History, references and external links

The History section is just a long list of names, there are no references, and the External Links section is totally un-wikipedic (see WP:EL) as well as totally arguable).--Megustalastrufas (talk) 17:26, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
