Tecnorumba blends the themes and singing style of Rumba flamenca with the most commercial forms of House, Techno and Makina, amongst other dance music styles. It was originally developed around the late 1980s/early 1990s. In the first half of the 1990s most Tecnorumba records had a low budget production and were cassette only releases sold at gas stations. The genre was critically panned but it gained some recognition with the huge success of Camela and it crossed over to a wider audience. .
