Hot 50 Cumbia Songs for Latin Music Playlist

Have you danced to Cumbia yet? Cumbia is a musical genre (and national dance of Columbia) that beautifully combines three cultures: African, Indigenous, and European. 

The layering of percussion instruments and emphasis on the backbeat brings an irresistible call to dance. Regardless of the tempo, Cumbia will make any party a dance party!

What is Cumbia?

Cumbia originated in the coastal area of Columbia. It is the blend of African, Indigenous, and European influences on the Colombian people. It used to be only heard in Columbia but is now popular throughout Latin America.

The African influence is heard in the rhythm of the drums while the Indigenous-based flute highlights the melody. The European influence provides variations in the melodies, choreography, and costumes of the dancers.

“Cumbia has been with Colombia from the beginning but, thanks to bands like Bomba Estereo, it’s once again emerging onto the international stage.” Columbia Tourism
