El guaguancó y la rumba

son ritmos muy callejero

El guaguancó y la rumba

son ritmos muy callejero

Si lleva la clave por dentro

grita tu eres timbero

Olvidate de la fama

y aquellos que se rieron

Iroko voy a cantar

Iroko es lo que yo quiero

Iroko voy a cantar

Iroko es lo que yo quiero

Yemeya la tola

Ma ma may sere

Yemaya olodo

Our monthly, free community rumba in Los Angeles, is now accepting donations.

Rincon Rumbero goes off the first Saturday of ever month and has become Los Angeles’ only established, regular rumba. Over the past year we have had timbero mayores such as Changuito, Cusito, Yagbe, and others grace our free events.

The space at which our rumba is hosted, The KAOS Network, is a community arts center. They do not charge us for the space, but obviously they have costs in maintaining the space. 

All the money which we raise goes to supporting KAOS Network, and supporting the event (designing and making flyers, etc…).

Any individual who puts forward a $5 donation before 11:59 P.S.T. on May 31, 2013, will earn a raffle ticket to win a new quinto cajon. A picture of the cajon is attached. You do not need to be present to win the cajon. It will be raffled at 6:00 P.M. P.S.T. on June 1st at the KAOS Network during Rincon Rumbero. If you participate, win, and live outside the area, you will have to pay for shipping.

Here is the donation link (make sure to note your name and phone number if you enter the raffle). 

The cajon being raffled if pictured above.

The cajon was donated and constructed by Troy Parker.

Thanks to everyone who came out to Rincon Rumbero’s One Year Anniversary on April 6, 2013.

Those of us who participate in Rincon Rumbero, and enjoy the monthly rumba must thank Mr. Ben Caldwell of KAOS Network.  Month after month Ben opens up the doors of KAOS Network in Leimert Park for Rincon Rumbero, never asking for money to host the event. 

Thank you to Troy Parker and Aus Matthews for helping produce the event on a monthly basis. It would also be a major oversight not to thank Gary Brian Craigwell, Pedro “Muñeco” Aguilar, Edward Turner, “Cusito”. and other rumbero mayores who come out regularly to put their skills on display.

Ms. Kay Torres of Curuye, merits a very special thank you for supporting the event by promoting it on her website on a regular basis.

Richard Edson, thanks for taking the time to take all the great photo of the events.

And of course, thanks to everyone who has been coming out over the course of the last year
