Question:

What's the musical difference between Rumba and Samba?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Technically, rumba music and music you dance rumba to are really quite different. I'm assuming you're interested in the latter. Rumba is slow and sensual, while samba is moderately fast and fun. Compare a Luis Miguel song ( you can almost pick any of his) with, say, Sergio Mendes' Mas Que Nada.
