Zamba is a traditional dance of Argentina. It is a style of Argentine music and Argentine folk dance. Zamba is very different from its homophone, the samba - musically, rhythmically, temperamentally, in the steps of the dance and in its costume.The bombo legüero drum is prominent in the playing of the zamba. The Argentine tango is an iconic form of dance, famous the world-over for its passion, rhythm and skill level. ... The music used in tango is inspired by the African community in Buenos Aires, and is said to use elements from African rhythm, European music and of course South American song.
