Glamorous cumbia (also known as 90's Cumbia) is a genre of Argentine cumbia that is not necessarily identified with the lower social classes.
Cumbia villera (shantytown cumbia,) is a typically Argentine form of cumbia music born in the villas miseria (shantytowns) around Buenos Aires and then popularized in the villas of other large urban settlements.
It is called "The 90's Cumbia" or "90's Glamorous cumbia", and emerged in Buenos Aires in the late 90's and the early 2000's.

 Argentine cumbia Information
Argentine cumbia is an umbrella term that comprises several distinct trends within the same tradition: the dance and music style known as cumbia in Argentina.
Cumbia has been well-known and appreciated in Argentina for a long time, but it gained nationwide scope and attention when it became popular in the main urban centers, the large cities of the Río de la Plata basin, in the 1990s.
Around the beginning of the 2000s, probably influenced by the Argentine economic crisis, romantic cumbia drifted slowly away from the spotlight, while the rest of the bands slowly gave way to the much more aggressive cumbia villera ("shantytown cumbia"), which was from the start mostly restricted to the urban lower classes.
