Original entry ↗name
Selected source glosses provide context, not a complete modern definition inventoryA fitness program that combines Latin and international music with dance.
From trademark Zumba created by the Colombian Beto Pérez. He wanted to call it "rumba", but this name was already taken for the Cuban musical genre and could create confusion. So he and his partner began to try initial letters until they liked "sumba", but Beto Pérez decided to write it with "z" because he liked the fictional character Zorro when he was a child.
