Sorry if this topic has been covered before but I'm wondering if anyone has links to Rumba lyrics online?
Best wishes.

Hola Franc,
Igualmente mi hermano! Cancionero Rumbero provides lyrics, rumba style, performer, and CD information from which the lyrics were taken from, but no actual melody lines. You will have to learn melody lines by listening to the CD's. I would say choose some you like and get the CD's. Memorize the lyrics and learn the melody lines of the verses or coros. If you are already singing coros, this won't be that hard for you. Get your claves out and start learning how the coros align with the clave, etc. and then play along with the CD. After you have mastered this down, you can move on to guagua or individual drum parts if you want. Trust me, this will take your independence to the next level.
Hope this helps!
Saludos,
Jorge Ginorio

Que Cosa mi pana! Ese sitio esta en punto papa!
That is a great site for lyrics. I normally would listen to the song and write what I was hearing, it's good to see that in most cases, I was right-on it!
Mil Gracias Mi Pana!
Suave!
