Rhumba is a vibrant music genre that originated from Cuba, heavily influencing and being influenced by African musical traditions, particularly in Central and East Africa. It is characterized by its upbeat rhythms, intricate percussion, and lively melodic lines, often featuring a fusion of guitars, brass instruments, and layered vocals.
