/Sounds like "toom" (as in "tool") + "bah" (as in "bar") + "EE" (as in "eagle") + "toh" (as in "toll")/
A confident, rhythmic walk that turns heads without even trying. Rooted in Afro-Caribbean culture and the musical concept of "tumbao," a tumbaíto in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic is that natural swag in someone's stride that cannot be taught or faked.
“He walks in with that swagger like he owns the place and everyone stares.”
“That strut he has you can't learn it, you either have it or you don't.”
