THE NAME: La Yumba is a tango composed by Osvaldo Pugliese in 1946, during the so-called “Golden Age of Tango.” Its name comes from the rhythmic onomatopoeia (zhoóm-ba). “Zhoóm” or “Yum” corresponds to the strong beats, and “Ba” the weak ones. The name plays tribute to the sound of a new era in Argentina, the splendor of tango and the popularity it gained among the working class, as well as to maestro Pugliese, considered a patron saint of musicians. And because we know that to play the yumbeado you have to rosin the bow thoroughly!
