Rumberas film The rumberas film (in Spanish cine de rumberas) was a film genre that flourished in Mexico, in the so-called Golden Age of Mexican cinema in the 1940s and 1950s. These movies starred "rumberas", dancers who performed to popular Afro-Caribbean rhythms. With roots in various film styles, the genre is one of the most fascinating hybrids of international cinema. Today, thanks to their unique characteristics, they are considered cult films. The rumberas and the luchador films were two of Mexico's contributions to international cinema. The rumberas film represented a social view of the world, focused on "women of the night" in the 1940s and 1950s, which confronted the moral and social conventions of their time, exhibiting a more realistic look at Mexican society. These were melodramas about the lives of these women, redeemed through exotic dance.
