Galician rumba (rumba gallega) belongs to those songs and dances called cantes de ida y vuelta, "of departure and return", like the Habanera, that travelled back from Cuba to the Spanish motherland to establish themselves as musical genres cultivated and cherished by the Spanish population.[1]
Like the rumba flamenca, the Galician rumba originated from a fusion of certain Cuban and Spanish elements of style. The characteristics of that new genre are similar to those of the new song-dances that appeared in the Caribbean Basin area during the 19th century, which were the result of a combination of Iberian and African elements. This new musical style has been called by Armando Rodríguez Ruidíaz the Rumba prototype and defined as follows: “That original product, which we can call the Rumba prototype, was the result of a process of cultural fusion, in which certain European components, such as the lyrics, the tonal relationships (Major-Minor), the melodic and harmonic structures and the “quatrain-refrain” (copla-estribillo) form, were combined with syncopated rhythmic patterns and micro-metric fluctuations (micro time) of African origin.”[2]

Also like in the rumba flamenca, the melody in the rumba gallega is frequently based on the Spanish Andalusian cadence, while in the background it generally utilizes one or several rhythms which are characteristic of some Cuban music genres such as the guaracha, the rumba and the habanera.
