Hope it helps

Ditto.
I agree with Hebe and Sandra. Tumbao is a specific way of walking.


Esa negrita que va caminando
Esa negrita tiene su tumbao
Y cuando la gente la va mirando
Ella baila de lao va bien apretao

La negra tiene tumbao
Y no camina de lao
Lyrics to "La Negra Tiene Tumbao" by Celia Cruz
