The term Cumbia refers to both a style of Colombian folk-dance music, which originated on the country's northern Atlantic coast, and its dominant rhythm., Cumbia was a synthesis of the traditions of three separate cultures: former slaves of African descent, who contributed the rhythms and percussion instruments; descendants of European colonists, primarily Hispanics, who influenced the music's melodic progressions; and native Americans descended from Andean tribes, who affected cumbia's melodic and harmonic sense and also contributed the flutes on which cumbia was initially played.  Cumbia's infectious, highly danceable beat found its way overseas, beginning around the 1960.

Cumbia is a Latin American music style that originated in Colombia's Caribbean coastal region. Traditional cumbia and its associated dance is considered to be representative of Colombia, along with Vallenato, Bambuco and Pasillo. Cumbia originated in the Caribbean coast of eastern Colombia, but there are also folkloric variants in Panama. During the mid-20th century, Colombian band leaders such as Pacho Galan and Lucho Bermudez orchestrated this Caribbean folklore and brought it to different parts of Latin America, where it gained particular popularity in Mexico, Argentina, and the Andean region. Cumbia began as a courtship dance practiced among the African slave population that was later mixed with European instruments and musical characteristics. Cumbia is very popular in the Andean region and the Southern Cone and was until the early 1980s more popular in these regions than the salsa.^[1]

Around Latin America, Colombia is known as the heartland of cumbia, one of the most-listened-to styles in the Americas. But in Colombia itself, cumbia's popularity came and went in the 60s and 70s. Until now. A new generation of young Colombians are digging into Afro-Colombian roots music as a rich source for modern musical fusions. We speak with some of the hottest young Colombian artists in this movement today, including Sistema Solar, Bomba Estereo, Choc Quib Town, and many more. Plus, we take a look at the neo-cumbia renaissance sweeping dance floors around the world, and take an eye to the music's new-found global vogue among blogging hipsters and digital beatsmiths.

20 de Julio dia de la independencia!

Con la Conquista y la Colonia, llegaron los blancos europeos de España, quienes a su vez trajeron esclavos de África. Es por ello que Colombia es un país multiétnico y pluricultural, donde cada región posee rasgos propios que la distinguen de sus vecinas.

YOU SEE WE DO HAVE SNOW!! in Colombia

There are three main areas of Colombia of interest to mountain adventure travellers.

In the far north of the country are the Sierra Nevada e Santa Marta where Colombia's highest peaks of Bolivar and Colon are located.

The Sierra Nevada in Santa Marta

Located in northern Colombia and covering close to one million acres, Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta National Park rises nearly 19,000 feet from the Caribbean Sea. It is set apart from the Andes chain that runs through Colombia and is the highest coastal mountain, only 26 miles from Caribbean beaches. The Sierra Nevada is source to 35 watersheds, making it a regional “water factory” supplying 1.5 million residents as well as nearby farming plains. 85% of the Sierra is overlapped with the indigenous communities of the Kogi-Arsario and the Arhuaco.

NO EXISTE UN LUGAR en el mundo donde una montaña de 5.770 metros de altura, con nieves perpetuas, descienda hasta las aguas cristalinas de un mar tropical. Solo existe en Colombia y se llama Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, el macizo costero más alto del mundo.
