The Colombian Cumbia was born in the 17th century as a result of the cultural fusion between Indigenous, Afro-descendants and Hispanics. Musical instruments, dances and the characteristic costumes converge in a magical place full of legends & folklore.
Let's connect with our ancestral connection with autochthonous instruments like gaita, maracas and drums 🪇🪘 La Cumbia tradition is still alive, shouting to the beat of the happy drum & the caller.
Live music with Colombian musicians: Rafa Semilla (Drums) and Sandra Kuisiera (Gaita & Maracas)
