The Rumba Foundation

In 2008, Jesse Cook, flamenco and world music guitarist extraordinaire achieved something no one before him ever has. He dominated both the smooth jazz radio charts with his #1 single, "Cafi Mocha, and the Billboard New Age chart with his #1 album FRONTIERS, which to date has spent over 70 weeks in the Top 10. Jesses new CD, THE RUMBA FOUNDATION, continues Jesse Cook's journey across time, space and sound. In the 1800s sailors travelled to Spain carrying a hot new rhythm from Cuba: Rumba. Gypsies took this infectious dance rhythm and created their own hybrid: -Rumba Flamenco." 150 years later, Jesse makes it a round trip by bringing Rumba Flamenco back to it's roots, but modernized in what might be his strongest work yet.
