Peres Blanca Band - Rhumba

Rhumba - good for dance practice

"Elevator music" but fine for dance practice or if you want some decent background music. Pretty good band. February 23, 2008

Rhumba

This is a very good cd for dancing to rhumba. There are slow tracks and there are fast tracks so you can build up your confidence by starting with the slow ones and finishing with the fast ones. The tracks are also very good for dancing slow rhythm. October 28, 2007

Good cd

I bought this cd to practice for my latin dance class and it does the trick. It is all instrumental, but like I said, it works for what I wanted it for! March 9, 2007

Decent buy for the money

These have a clearly heard bass line, and so they are good for beginners as they struggle to hear the "slow, quick, quick" beat of the rumba. The last two tracks are too fast according to current competition standards.

All tracks are played by the Peres Blanca Band. Judged for musicality, these rate two and a half to three stars, with the exception of the second track. This is a very danceable recording of "Strangers in Paradise."

Here are the titles, durations, and tempos:

1. Bali Ha'I, 2:24 (25 bpm)
2. Stranger In Paradise, 2:43 (26 bpm)
3. How Deep Is Your Love, 3:17, (27 bpm)
4. Perfidia, 2:25 (28 bpm)
5. Sweet Dreams, 2:04 (28 bpm)
6. I Just Called To Say I Love You, 3:46 (28 bpm)
7. Venus, 2:51 (28 bpm)
8. Night And Day, 2:41 (29 bpm)
9. Amor Do Verano, 1:53 (29 bpm)
10. Yellow Bird, 2:13 (29 bpm)
11. La Golondrina, 2:49 (30 bpm)
12. Song For Guy, 3:50 (31 bpm) March 5, 2007

Rhumba

Fair to good product. The dance selections are somewhat slow and plodding and not as suitable for a fast paced rhumba. Also each selection has been truncated at the last chord which is unsettling
