Latin rhythms have infiltrated every branch of popular music, but none has had such a wide ranging influence as the rumba. It is this rhythm, combined with the New Orleans second line beat, that formed the basis of the Stax and Motown sound and the more complex rhythms of funk in the 1960s. But where would rock be without the cha-cha-cha? Think: Respect, Satisfaction, Wild Thing... Volumes 1 & 2 in the Rumba Blues series covered the years 1940 to 1956. Volumes 3 takes us up to 1961, providing a fascinating insight into the evolution of a vibrant and important strand of popular music. Aside from rumba and cha-cha-cha, we present boleros, tumbaos, charlestons, cascaras. A great party sound (together with authoritative essay of course!)
