About Cumbia
Cumbia is a beloved and culturally rich music and dance genre that was born on the Caribbean coast of Colombia from the extraordinary meeting of African, indigenous Amerindian, and Spanish cultural traditions brought together by the complex history of the region. The dance features a characteristic shuffle-step footwork pattern, graceful circular formations, expressive hip movement, and the traditional gesture of holding a candle or the skirt during performance, all driven by the irresistible rhythm of percussion, gaita flute, and accordion that defines the Cumbia sound. From its Colombian origins, Cumbia spread throughout Latin America to become one of the most widely embraced music and dance genres in the Spanish-speaking world, developing beloved regional variations in Mexico, Argentina, Peru, and Chile along the way. Cumbia is highly accessible for beginners and widely taught in Latin dance studios across the United States as a welcoming entry point into the rich world of Latin social dancing.
