House of Rosin Imported Yumba 'Tango' Rosin for Cello

Yumba rosin is the perfect choice for musicians who require a strong grip while continuously bowing. With just a few swipes of this ultra-soft and sticky rosin cake, you'll have all the grip you need.

So why choose Yumba? Well, Yumba is a tango created by Osvaldo Pugliese in 1946, during the Golden Age of Argentine Tango. The name "Yumba" originates from the rhythmical onomatopoeia (zhoóm-ba), with the "Zhoóm" or "Yum" syllable representing the strong beats and the "Ba" representing the weak ones. This unique resource was embraced by orchestras and composers, becoming a defining feature of the tango style known as marcato.

Our goal was to connect the Yumba brand with the musical sound it represents. This sound was a new development during the Golden Age of Tango, a period marked by the peak of Tango's popularity in Argentina among the new working class. Yumba was named in honor of Tango master Pugliese, who was revered as a patron saint of musicians. And we believe that to achieve the distinctive "yumbeado accent," thorough rosining of the bows is essential!

Yumba rosin is made from 100% vegetable origin, ensuring a natural product that won't discolor the bowhair. Developed specifically for Tango musicians in Argentina, this soft compound provides extra grip for your bow. It can be used year-round in all climates and comes in a protective metal case for convenience.

Choose Yumba rosin for a true Tango experience and feel the difference in your performance.
