#13 is a bit fast for International Rumba..Im not sure about the other one..

(I have that album and the 4 followups.) For American rumbas, I can see both.

Even though it has a few time changes in it, my favorite rumba is "The Look Of Love" by Dusty Springfield

Listened to the Vonda album. Don't really care for her renditions of the songs I've always liked. Number 3 is a decent american rumba, and number 13 could work as an international rumba. Most likely it's just me and my tastes, but I find her vocals a little too powerful for the music. Something in her voice I find irritating, much like many would find something irritating about my post Not meant to do so...just telling you how I feel about the music.

I like my Rumba music borderline erotic, since that’s how I interpreate the dance. Complete side tracking, but I never got the “romantic” vibe from the Rumba. That’s the Waltz, Foxtrot and Viennese Waltz. The Rumba is sex.


Anyway. Wicked Game by Chris Issac is the most perfect Rumba song I’ve come across so far.

Oh my gosh! I didn't even think about Bleeding Love. I love that song! Int or American though?

Cuando Te Beso..... I would also suggest watching Slavik and Karina's rumba to this songs.....it just drips passion and love. It's one of the best rumba performances I have ever seen.

Have you heard it by Diana Krall? Very sexy.

Unconventional (and could be a bit slower):
