Cumbia Loca

Video Find of the Day

The sound is rough but you get the idea. I turned the volume down to "7".

I've been reading up on cumbia and have learned that it's often looked down upon as lower class. Maybe that's the appeal.

Fantastic high school performance with a jazz side to it.

Cumbia has African roots, of course. Doesn't everything?

I've been looking for videos representing these old cumbia hits for months. These were there all along, just not labeled as such, hidden among the hundreds of videos of borucas999.

Linda Vera..."EL PESCADOR"...

I love the Cumbia beat. The limp accents the fey. I've had a hell of a time finding good Cumbia videos online though. What, they can afford portable synthesizers but nobody can spring for a decent camera?

These I like. First the band Damas Gratis by itself, at a concert.

Damas Gratis en vivo



Second, in what looks like a TV rip, so the quality of the video is not their fault, the band is joined by the bailarinas.

First, Los Hermanos Flores.



Next, Crooked Stilo -- Cumbia Urbana.



Finally, Cumbia heavy metal parody.
