Catalan
gipsies formed their own pattern of rumba known as rumba catalane which is a
renowned pattern that is like the flamenco, but not technically the part of the
flamenco canon. The rumba catalane derived from Barcelona when the rumba and
other Afro-Cuban pattern came from Cuba during in the 19th and 20th
centuries. Catalan artists modified them to the flamenco arrangement and made
it their own. However often dismissed by aficionados as fake flamenco, rumba
catalane continues passionately well-known to this period.
