******************** THE ORIGIN & HISTORY ********************

Cumbia is a popular music genre across Latin America that developed in Colombia's Caribbean coastal region and Panama from the cultural and musical mixture of Native Panamanians and Colombians and Panamanians, as well as African slaves and the Spanish during colonial times.

Cumbia started out as a courtship ritual dance performed by Africans. It later became blended with African and European instruments and musical characteristics, as well as Amerindian steps. Cumbia is very popular type of music in the Southern Cone and the Andean region, and is much more popular than salsa in several parts of the aforementioned regions. Interestingly, up until the middle part of the mid-20th century, Cumbia has been deemed as an unsuitable dance, performed mainly by the lower social ranks.

Traditionally, Cumbia music is played only with Cumbia drums. As years past, accordions were added, then replaced by versatile instruments like conga, timbales, guira, tamboras, and claves. Guitar, caja snare drum, bass guitar, clarinet, the mejoranera and the Rabel (Panama), modern flute have also been used.

The so called “Golden age of Cumbia” has been reached during the middle part of the 20th century, when Colombian artists like Lucho Bermudez and Pacho Galan refined Cumbia which became widely popular across Colombia and Latin America. The rich diversity of Latin America influenced the significant changes in Colombian Cumbia through the blending of regional musical styles. Today, Cumbia’s popularity has remained intact through the proliferation of digital Cumbia or “nu-cumbia” and Brazilian Cumbia.
