/Sounds like "SAHM" (as in "salsa") + "bah" (as in "bar")/
A traditional Argentine folk dance from the northwest, where two dancers court each other by circling slowly while waving white handkerchiefs to the rhythm of guitar and bombo drum. The zamba is to Tucumán, Salta, and Jujuy what tango is to Buenos Aires: identity expressed through movement, and a centerpiece of folk festivals and patriotic celebrations.
“My grandmother danced the zamba beautifully at the town celebrations.”
“They played a beautiful zamba at the end of the folk gathering.”

Mechero
