What Is Rumba? - Explanation - Central African Music - World Music Method

Many of the top African Rumba guitarists learned their craft the old-fashioned way – playing directly under the wing of a more established player. With this course, I want to give students across the globe access to this type of authentic Congolese training.

We start by covering the fundamentals of Central African guitar, then dive into the classic Rumba Odemba and Rumba Fiesta guitar styles played by Franco and Dr Nico. These styles will help you transition from the early Cuban music heard on African radio stations in the 40s into the new African genres of the 60s. From there, we look at Sebene, Congo’s intensely danceable genre of world-famous guitar playing.

You’ll learn how to create a lead guitar part over all of the common Congolese chord progressions as well as how to underpin a rhythm guitar part to give the soloist the platform upon which to fly. Before long, you’ll be a Central African guitar expert.

As a bonus, due to Congolese music’s pioneering status, influence over the music of other African nations, and relatively simple, repetitive chord progressions, the lessons from this course are transferable to many different regional guitar styles.

Don't wait! Don't just play; transform your guitar play. Enrol now.
