161;Vamos a guarachar! Compartiendo rarezas del mundo rumbero * sharing rarities from the world of rumba. Saturday, July 16, 2011. From the Solar to the Salon: Silvestre Méndez, Miguelito "Cara Ancha" and "Sonerito". It's well known that rumba has provided the raw material for countless songs in many styles of Cuban music, but seldom has that fact been illustrated more vividly than in a story told by Silvestre Méndez (1921-1997) to Mexican writer Gonzalo Martré. We were recently privileged to come across...

161;Vamos a guarachar! Compartiendo rarezas del mundo rumbero * sharing rarities from the world of rumba. Thursday, July 09, 2009. María la O, ¿quién es? Rumba lyrics are filled with allusions to colorful and evocative characters, mostly anonymous: Pregoneros, gossips, chinos, la china con diente de oro, to name just a few. But there is one name that appears more than all the others: that of María la O. Has there ever been a rumba at which her name hasn't come up at least once? 161;María la O, kuenda.

161;Vamos a guarachar! Compartiendo rarezas del mundo rumbero * sharing rarities from the world of rumba. Tuesday, February 16, 2010. Eulogio El Amaliano is one of those legendary but elusive old-school rumberos that one often hears about. I first heard him mentioned in Yoruba Andabo's 2003 version.
