Thank you for watching this video about how to play traditional cumbia from Colombia on the drums! comments are more than welcome :).
The cumbia I played in this video is called "Soledad" lyrics by Toto La Momposina.
There are many kinds of cumbia and they vary the instrumentation depending on the the area they come from. Every country in south America has its own way of playing cumbia but originally, it comes from Colombia so if you want to really dig into the real stuff you should check some of these artists. Some of these proyecta include other instruments such as gaitas, guacharaca ( colombian güiro) acordeon and more.. Enjoy! :)
