Lautaro Dancing Rumba Columbia

Decided to video a training session, and i decided to try out my white suit, typical Rumba-style.

This is Rumba Columbia, an AfroCuban dance included in the Rumba spectrum.

The music is from Los Muñequitos de Matanzas.

Un gran abrazo a mi profesor, Julio Viscayz, Grupo Clave Y Guaguanco, Havana, Cuba.

not "originally from Colombia" - common misconception. From Cuba - Matanzas countryside in particular. The origin of the name is hotly disputed by scholars and rumberos in cuba but probably comes from KiKongo or Carabali. To the dancer's credit, it's hard to appreciate a columbia dance without the rumba happening around them. In my opinion you dance well. Gracias!

@pscampoamor

Thank you very much, sir!

I was always told that there was a small village called Columbia in the outsides of Matanzas.

Ummm, good try, but

1. Lose the glasses - at least for the video

2.Get more dancing experience before trying African dances. you exude the confidence of a first prom

3. Suit looks like Friday casual, not Cuba -maybe watch some YouTube clips for hints about how rumberos dress - shoes are very cool, however.

HA ha, wow very clear opinions. You must have alot of knowledge.. Sorry about the glasses, but this is me in real life. Its just a practice. When i do a show i always take them off.

Whats a "first prom"?

ma perchè non lasciamo i balli afro-cubani agli afro-cubani! noi italiani siamo bravi a ballare la tarantella.

il ballerino nel video è bravo, si! Ma manca quel tocco magico che solo i cubani hanno, manca l'essenza della columbia.

I thought that the video was amazing and that musicology girl just showed her lack of knowledge of Rumba. She must not be a dancer! Just a big mouth!!!
