DESCRIPTION:
Now that's some rumba!

Osain del Monte is a young, energetic and innovative rumba group that has just released their first album. I went to their concerts four times during my 2-month trip to Cuba, and the atmosphere was always through the roof! Especially in the second half of the set the dance floor was packed with people dancing the night away!

The music of Osain del Monte is filled with interesting and amazing material, from their use of snare to timba-like bloques (for example 8:10-8:22) and gears-styled changes (for example from 14:30 on), not to mention the thrilling conversations between the tumbadoras, played by world-class musicians!

I decided to upload this 15-minute-long video as a whole, because it contains some very interesting stuff for those interested in cuban rumba music!
