Kris Holmes's avatar View Kris Holmes's profile Favoriting

Twenty years of dusty fingers, frayed cuticles, & upper respiratory infections — from record digging and DJing around the globe — coalesces into a 2-hour journey through Rhythm & Blues, Soul, Funk, Jazz, Blues, Latin, Rock & Roll, and all points in between. Your speakers will be head-nodding, toe-tapping & even two-stepping to this vintage 45rpm party in no time. Hear favorite songs you didn't know were your favorites, aural treats & record-world problems from the vinyl side of life.

Mty, Bogaota/Medellin, Lima are my go to for classic cumbias. Now days, the Argies and Euros have created some good stuff as well (and then there are us Yanks).

I found the cumbia to be not a quickly grasped dance when I had quick lesson exposure years ago. But would like to regroup and regrasp sometime cuz luz the music. Hate to have a “Couldn’t cumbia” epitaph.

Kris Holmes:

So many regional variations

@still b/p: just don't think about the rhythm, zen about it. If a gringo honky like me can dance to cumbia, anyone can!

I don't know if there are steps I should know, but don't...but I find the cumbia beat incredibly natural to move to.

Amen, UM!

That’s what takes, I guess, because other Latin steps seem more natural and intuitive if ya gots rhythm, but with cumbia it ain’t what head and feet expect.

@Kris, all: would be curious if there are any S.A. cumbia comps you'd recommend (besides that Roots of Chicha: Psychedelic Cumbias one). Most of the cumbias I've found have been through youtube

most, but not all LP comps, will have cumbia in the title. from there, find artists you like, and go from there.
Avatar 11:20pm
northguineahills:

Then, as UM knows, my best scores were cdrs of cumbia rebada at drug front in the rough side of Mty. When they realized this gringo actually wanted music and not drugs, they laughed their asses off (my wife had to explain it to them, as my gringo spanish was really bad back then).
