Rumba - Rhumba (English spelling) rhumba Spanish

One of the dance rhythms. It originated from the acrobatic, pantomime-like Kikonga ritual dance "Son" among the African-descended Cubans, and spread to America and Europe in the 1930s as a popular social dance. Around the same time, rumba was influenced by jazz and became the basis of mambo. The musical characteristic of rumba is the complex, syncopated two-beat ostinato played by claves and maracas, which, together with the dance movements, can create polyrhythms. The melody is also roughly repetitive. Dancers stand upright and sway their hips to the quick-quick-slow rhythm.

Japanese:

ダンスのリズムの一つ。キューバのアフリカ系住民の間に、アクロバットを含むパントマイム的なキコンガ儀礼の踊り「ソン」を起源としておこったもので、1930年代に大衆的な社交ダンスとしてアメリカやヨーロッパに広まった。同時期に、ルンバはジャズの影響を受け、マンボの母体となった。ルンバの音楽的特徴は、クラベスやマラカスなどによって奏される、シンコペーションを含んだ複雑な二拍子のオスティナートで、それはダンスの動きとともに、ポリリズムを生み出すこともある。旋律も同様に、およそ反復的である。踊り手は体をまっすぐにして、クィック・クィック・スローのリズムにあわせて、腰を揺する。
