| yambú | ? | Los Muñequitos de Matanzas | 12_Baba_Cuello_Mao | Tumi Cuba Classics V3. Interesting to me because it is the first yambú I have heard with rumba clave! |

| tumba francesa? | 1958? | Tiroro - "the best drummer in Haiti" | Tiroro - trk 1 & trk 2 | CD Smithsonian Folkways Recordings from Cook C-5004 LP Side 1
This is not rumba, strictly speaking, but it is included because it is one of the first non-jazz drumming LPs I ever purchased. I think it may be or is in the style of tumba francesa. |
