During the second half of the 19th century, several secular dance-oriented music styles were developed by Afro-Cuban workers in the poor neighbourhoods of [[Havana]] and [[Matanzas]].<ref name="ELPC">{{cite book|last1=Díaz|first1=Román|last2=Palenzuela Jottar|first2=Berta|editor1-last=Candelaria|editor1-first=Cordelia|title=Encyclopedia of Latino Popular Culture, Volume 2|date=2004|publisher=Greenwood Press|location=Westport, CT|pages=712–725|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=3uD6PKXl3q4C|chapter=Rumba|isbn=9780313332111}}</ref> These syncretic styles would later be referred to as "rumba", a word that also meant "party". Traditionally, the three main styles of rumba are [[yambú]], [[Cuban rumba#Columbia|columbia]] and [[guaguancó]], each of which has a characteristic dance, rhythm and singing. Although still a purely folkloric genre, numerous innovations have been introduced in rumba since the mid 20th century, including new styles such as [[batá-rumba]] and [[guarapachangueo]].<ref name="ELPC" />
