Rumba with reggaeton inspired vocals

This is apparently a hit in Cuba. Interesting how you can hear the reggaeton influence in the vocals.

I think it may be vice versa.

Kind of like how American English influences British English at times.

So you would say that Yoruba Andabo is doing reggeaton with rumba-inspired rhythms and vocal harmonies?

No, I would say reggaeton vocals come from rumba -- or at least from the same milieu from which rumba came. But that it's possible there is a "rebound" so to speak.

That's my favorite Yoruba Andabo song! Loved it ever since I heard it at the beginning of the year in Havana, great for dancing and really interesting rhythmically.

Ah OK.
