Even though it originated in Cuba, the various Gypsy groups including the Amayas, Ojos de Brujo, and the Gypsy Kings have popularised the form across the world and today’s young guitarist continue to compose new rumbas. And let's not forget a very high point - the release of Entre dos Aguas by Paco de Lucía.
