[ˈrʌmbə]Meaning
a term for Cuban secular music styles, and later for various music and dance styles
Background Story
The word was originally used in northern Cuba as a synonym for "party", and by the late 19th century it denoted the complex of secular music styles known as Cuban rumba. It entered the English lexicon in the early 20th century, and in the first third of that century it also entered the Spanish flamenco world as a fast-paced palo inspired by the Cuban guaracha.
