Rumba Guaguancó

[groovemanlars]

Hello all - can anyone recommend some Rumba Guaguancó basic albums/artists to listen to in order to get a feel for this style? I'm hoping for things I can find on iTunes/Amazon.
Best,
L

Try Pandora internet radio. You can create your own station based on artist or song. Create one on Los Munequitos, and you will get a number of recording of theirs, as well as other artist of the same style.
