| The basic rhythm structure is 4/4. Cumbia is the net intersection of two cultures that settled in the region of what is now northern Colombia at different times; the American Indians and African slaves. Cumbia began as a courtship dance practiced among the slave population that was later mixed with the European instruments and influence. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
