  • nice music

  • @ndawg98 the music is of West African origins (essentially Bantu stock). It was picked up by Latin Americans at large. Basically African slaves in Cuba enjoyed Rumba (from rumbo - Cuban Spanish for party ). They adapted Spanish guitar and horns to their style of music and dance and inspired the other Latinos. In the 20's Africans heard Rumba, updated their own afro Funky/jazz and stuck with the name. The Congolese have most recently carried the torch furthest in popularity terms.

  • nice!!!!!

  • Nice choreography. Well done!

  • @sahnie82 no disrespect intended, but I agree with you. I like the original version with the African drums. I'm not feeling it, but the ladies did their thing on the stage. So kudos to them :)

  • excellent!!!

  • Awilo Moyen Te the best song

  • @sabisabiti No they did a terrible job

  • This is terrible .... They can't dance to this song sorry .Great afford but this song is about more shaking,movement of the waist and more African jumping side to side.what is with the breast shaking... Last time I have seen an African video did she as much expect lots of booties.

  • luve it
