[El Gran Salseron]

That's it for tonight, troops! I hope to "see" each and everyone of you next weekend! Good night! :-)

 

FR CANTEEN MISSION STATEMENT
Showing support for and boosting the morale of our military and our allies' military,
the family members of the military and all of their supporters, everywhere.
Honoring those who have served before.

 

Genre:  Rumba/Jazz

 

Artist:  Various  ( This song is on a CD I had laying around loose with no cover.  I have no idea as to how I came into its possession.  I have the individual artists' names but not the name of the group.  The name of the CD is "Afro-Cuban Project." )

 

Song Title:  Rumbata

 

Translation:  Rumbata

 

General Theme:  He's singing about how wonderful the rumba and the rumbata are.

 

Side Note:  A "rumbata" is the main percussion instrument in this type of music.  Turn up the volume.  By the end of this rumba you'll be accidentally knocking over furniture.  If you don't like the percussion and rhythms in this song then you are denying your own primal genes and/OR you have cheap speakers.  :-)

 

Additional:  Support the artists you hear in the Canteen.  Buy their music!  If you need more information or links to their music CDs, links are provided below:
