Estribillo
A short, catchy phrase that is repeated for emphasis. It can act as a refrain, often appearing within or after the coro. The estribillo adds to the song’s memorability and invites audience participation.
The estribillo is the refrain of a rumba: a short phrase that the coro repeats in answer to the lead singer. In yambú it marks the moment the dancing begins — once the estribillo starts, the couple enters the circle.
