  • Transnational Trajectories of Colombian Cumbia
    SPRING 2020 TRANSNATIONAL TRAJECTORIES OF COLOMBIAN CUMBIA Transnational Trajectories of Colombian Cumbia Dr. Lea Ramsdell* Abstract: During 19th and 20th century Latin America, mestizaje, or cultural mixing, prevailed as the source of national identity. Through language, dance, and music, indigenous populations and ethnic groups distinguished themselves from European colonizers. Columbian cumbia, a Latin American folk genre of music and dance, was one such form of cultural expression. Finding its roots in Afro-descendant communities in the 19th century, cumbia’s use of indigenous instruments and catchy rhythm set it apart from other genres. Each village added their own spin to the genre, leaving a wake of individualized ballads, untouched by the music industry. However, cumbia’s influence isn’t isolated to South America. It eventually sauntered into Mexico, crossed the Rio Grande, and soon became a staple in dance halls across the United States. Today, mobile cumbia DJ’s, known as sonideros, broadcast over the internet and radio. By playing cumbia from across the region and sending well-wishes into the microphone, sonideros act as bridges between immigrants and their native communities. Colombian cumbia thus connected and defined a diverse array of national identities as it traveled across the Western hemisphere. Keywords: Latin America, dance, folk, music, cultural exchange, Colombia What interests me as a Latin Americanist are the grassroots modes of expression in marginalized communities that have been simultaneously disdained and embraced by dominant sectors in their quest for a unique national identity. In Latin America, this tension has played out time and again throughout history, beginning with the newly independent republics in the 19th century that sought to carve a national identity for themselves that would set them apart – though not too far apart – from the European colonizers.

    American Music Review The H. Wiley Hitchcock Institute for Studies in American Music Conservatory of Music, Brooklyn College of the City University of New York Volume XLIII, Number 1 Fall 2013 Don’t Shoot the Piano Player: The State of Vallenato in New York City1 Jorge Arévalo Mateus, Hunter College, CUNY & the Center for Traditional Music and Dance Vallenato is Colombia’s lively, accordion-driven popular dance music with roots in the country’s costeño (Atlantic coastal) rural communities. Traditional vallenato ensembles consisted of the diatonic button acordeón (accordion), guacharaca (stick scraper), and caja (small, single headed drum), while more commercial, urban vallenato tropical groups have added electric bass, keyboards, horns, and Afro-Cuban percussion (congas, timbales, and bongos) to their instrumentation.2 The music has a strong tradition of family practitioners, with the Celedons, Oñates, and Zuletas standing out among vallenato’s musical dynasties. Since the 1980s, vallenato has become increasingly popular, so much so that presently, along with Colombian salsa, it is the most com- mercially successful and global Colombian popular music, overshadowing cumbia, champeta, and even Afro- Colombian rap.3 As a result of increased immigration since the early 1970s, vallenato tropical has become popular in New York City’s Colombian neighborhoods located in Jackson Heights, East Elmhurst, Corona, and Astoria as well as sections of Brooklyn and neighboring New Jersey. Nonetheless, there is mounting evidence that in addition to commercial

In spite of the fact that youth under the age of twenty-four make up approximately forty-five percent of Mexico’s population, young people and their engagement with and creation of popular culture have been severely understudied.
