Just ask between Rumba and Beguine style....both seems similar but I have a feel that Rumba is always on the slow side while Beguine is towards to fast side. Did I misunderstood something and can I say the whole picture from slow to fast in terms of tempo: Rumba - Cha-cha - Beguine - Bossanova - Samba?

this was quite fascinating to me...by rumba am I correct in assuming this is what westerners call rumba? i.e. a collective term for what Cubans call Son, Danzon and Bolero? anyway most interesting...

Gareth! I couldn-t find a video to help me with one thing: I have a melody, I have chords for it... but I want it to fit 1 5 6 4 chords progression... how to do it?

That was great! I have an old instrumental rumbas vinyl (heard some boleros on here too) and am curious about these styles
