		In the colombian version, men and women came to the event dressed entirely in white – the women wore long, multi-layered skirts and the men carried bundles of candles or torches, which were lit and held as they gathered in a circle.
		Although the cumbia began with African drums and voice, soon native wind instruments, such as the gaita (a flute with a sharp tone), cane flutes and Spanish instruments, such as guitars and ouds (a type of lute), entered the arrangements.
		The look of cumbia has changed, too, as the clothing has become brighter and the dance is frequently performed by troupes of women.

	The Austin Chronicle Music: Cumbia Sobre El Rio
		A folkloric music born in Colombia's Caribbean coastal region, cumbia sabanera and its cousin cumbia vallenata were forged from a fusion of European accordion, native Indian guacharaca (a bamboo scraper), and African rhythms played on the caja, a drum slightly larger than a bongo.
		It was in Independencia that cumbia Colombiana was born in the early Sixties, transforming Monterrey into a unique haven in Mexico for a music melded by African slaves and rural Colombians.
		Still, the characteristics of cumbia lyrics are changing in the hands of Mexican musicians, becoming more reflective of their struggles with poverty and the loneliness of life in the big city.

		In its purest, most folk-derived form, cumbia is played on a combination of African drums and native American flutes, but the accordion eventually became the most popular lead instrument; organ and harp have also found favor in some quarters.
		Cumbia's infectious, highly danceable beat found its way overseas, beginning around the 1960s, and became an indispensable tool for many Latin bands and orchestras; it achieved special popularity in Mexico, where many groups incorporated it into their repertoire of popular songs.

		Although Tejano Cumbia music is different from Salsa music there are similarities in some of the moves but Cumbia can also move down the line of dance, rather than just staying in place with the partners dancing side-by-side as well as in closed position.

		The Columbian Cumbia music and dance is similar to Salsa and is not covered in the Tejano Dance class.

		Cumbia: the most popular dance rhythm of Colombia and the one that has been the most widely spread throughout Latin America.
		Now, to solve your confusion, cumbia is not a clave-based rhythm, but as with many rhythms can be played "in clave." If a band that plays salsa wants to arrange a cumbia, they will usually arrange it in clave, especially if they decide to put in a mambo section.
		This is OK because cumbia is a one-bar rhythm that fits in nicely the clave's two bar structure.

		Cumbia is to Columbia what samba is to Brazil, tango is to Argentina, and merengue is to the Dominican Republic -- it isn't the country's only style of music, but it is definitely its most famous and popular.
		One thing the compilation doesn't get into is the cumbia of Mexico and the southwestern U.S., where Mexican artists have been playing their own interpretations of cumbia; this disc is Columbian all the way.
		The Rough Guide to Cumbia is hardly the last word on cumbia, but it's generally rewarding and can serve as a fine introduction to the style, although it would have been nice if the World Music Network had listed recording dates.

	Splendid E-zine reviews: Rough Guide to Cumbia
		Evocative of nightclubs and slinky dancing, Bermudez took cumbia from Colombia's coastal towns to the interior regions during the '60s.
		During their popular concerts, Los Falcons, knowing damn well how irresistible their rock-tinged cumbias were, defied audiences not to dance.
		Their arrangements are a little sloppier and somewhat faster than their dancehall forefathers, yet these subtle, punk Esquivels keep the cumbia faith.

	Greg Ribot & Cumbia del Norte: The International Conspiracy - PopMatters Music Review
		His backing band, New York's Cumbia del Norte, brings an interesting mix of jazz and South American music (specifically, the Colombian cumbia featured in their name).
		Granted, Greg Ribot & Cumbia del Norte are not going for a highly improvisational sound, but all the same, orchestration needn't mean tameness and timidity.
		There are, however, glimpses of abandon and longing on tracks like "La Cumbia Loco" -- we can only hope that Greg Ribot will let his hair down a little more often and play some more crazy cumbias that we can all groove to.

		Greatest Cumbia Classics of Colombia ~ Various Artists
		Every song is beautifully arranged and evokes a kind of nostalgia for this "music of the coast." If you are someone who values variety in a CD compilation, however, you might want to give the samples on this amazon website a good listen before you purchase the CD.
		While the cumbia songs are wonderfully pure and truly representative of this fantastic music, they do sound very similar (which isn't a surprise, of course, because this is a CD of cumbia!).
