cumbia
Cumbia [ˈkumbja] is a music genre popular throughout Latin America. The Cumbia originated in Colombia's Caribbean coastal region and Panama, from the musical and cultural fusion of Native Colombians and Panamanians, slaves brought from Africa, and the Spanish during colonial times in the old country of Pocabuy, which is located in Colombia's Momposina Depression and in the northeast of Panama, in the ancient palenques of the Congo nation.

Cumbia began as a courtship dance practiced among the African population, which was later mixed with Amerindian steps and European and African instruments and musical characteristics. Cumbia is very popular in the Andean region and the Southern Cone, and is for example more popular than the salsa in many parts of these regions.
It is mainly asserted that cumbia's basic beat evolved from Guinean cumbé music. However, this basic beat can be found in music of Yoruba (in the rhythm associated with the god Obatala), and in other musical traditions across West Africa. Cumbia started in the Caribbean coast of the south of Central America and in the north of South America, in what is now the northern coast of Colombia, mainly in or around the Momposina Depression during the period of Spanish colonization and on the northeast of Panama. Spain used its ports to import African slaves, who tried to preserve their musical traditions and also turned the drumming and dances into a courtship ritual. Cumbia was mainly performed with just drums and claves.
Slaves in Colombia were later influenced by the sounds of New World instruments from the Kogui and Kuna tribes, who lived between the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta and the Montes de María in Colombia. Millo flutes, Gaita flutes, and the guacharaca (an instrument similar to the güiro) were instruments borrowed from these New World tribes. The interaction between Africans and Natives of the New World under the Spanish caste system created a mixture from which the gaitero (cumbia interpreter) appeared, with a defined identity by the 1800s. (These gaiteros are not the same as the Venezuelan Zulian gaiteros.) The European guitars were added later through Spanish influence. According to legend, the accordion was added after a German cargo ship carrying the instruments sank as the cargo of accordions washed ashore on the northwest coast of Colombia. However, it's more likely that German immigrants brought the instrument to Barranquilla in the 19th century, and it was later adopted by the local population. Cumbia is often played in modern African celebrations.
In Panama, the processes that shaped the culture and idiosyncrasies of the Colombian Caribbean through the three aspects (Hispanic, black and Indian) from the Spanish colonial period until today, also occurred in the isthmus. Research in the field talks about their appearance in the Colonial era. Slaves in Panama sang the cumbia in Spanish and African dialect, with the accompaniment of drums only. The Mejorana a type of guitar and the Rabel were added later through Spanish influence. The Indian influence will came in form of the Saloma, a modulation of the vocal cords, a rudimentary high sonority cry that forms musical melodies.
The Cumbia is mentioned in many historical references, travel diaries, and newspapers of Panama during the 19th century. The oldest news that exists in Panama of the Cumbia, dates from the early 19th century, from the family of Don Ramón Vallarino Obarrio, where slaves dance Cumbia in his living room. This story was passed from generation to generation since Doña Rita Vallarino Obarrio to Doña Matilde Obarrio, who published it in his "Sketch of Panama Colonial Life" in the early 30th century the XX.
The basic rhythm structure is 2/4. Due to its origins, both African and New World Native influences can be felt in Cumbia.

Amor Prohibido
Selena Lyrics
Con unas ansias locas quiero verte hoy
Espero ese momento en que escuche tu voz
Y cuando al fin estemos juntos los dos
Qué importa qué dirán tu padre y tu mamá
Aquí solo importa nuestro amor, te quiero
Amor prohibido murmuran por las calles
Porque somos de distintas sociedades
Amor prohibido nos dice todo el mundo
El dinero no importa en ti y en mí, ni en el corazón
Oh-uoh, baby
Aunque soy pobre todo esto que te doy
Vale más que el dinero porque sí es amor
Y cuando al fin estemos juntos, los dos
Qué importa qué dirá, también la sociedad
Aquí solo importa nuestro amor, te quiero
Amor prohibido murmuran por las calles
Porque somos de distintas sociedades
Amor prohibido nos dice todo el mundo
El dinero no importa en ti y en mí, ni en el corazón
Oh-uoh, baby
Amor prohibido murmuran por las calles
Porque somos de distintas sociedades
Amor prohibido nos dice todo el mundo
El dinero no importa en ti y en mí, ni en el corazón
Oh-uoh, baby
Amor prohibido murmuran por las calles
Porque somos de distintas sociedades
Amor prohibido nos dice todo el mundo
El dinero no importa en ti y en mí, ni en el corazón

Espero ese momento
En que escuche tu voz
Y cuando al fin
Estemos juntos los dos
Que importa que diran
Tu padre y tu mama
Aqui solo importa nuesto amor
Te quiero
Amor prohibido murmuran por las calles

El dinero no importa en ti ni en mi
Ni en el corazon oh, oh baby
Aunque soy pobre
Todo esto que te doy
Vale mas que el dinero
Porque si es amor
Y cuando al fin
Estemos juntos los dos
Que importa que dira

Back in the days when you had to set your VHS to record at a certain time, I put in the wrong code & wound up watching Selena for the first time. She was still fairly unknown to the world back then. With some research, I found out it was the first time this song was played on VH1 or MTV(yeah, it's been awhile!). But right away, I knew I HAD to find her on CD or album. I lived in Las Vegas at the time & worked in casinos. The first time I heard Selena in the casino on the PA, I couldn't help but smile! I know that many Hispanics claim Selena as their own. But please forgive me if I say that Selena & her family are so American! They're the exactly what's meant by the "American dream". Her voice will live on. I don't know if her voice has been added to the Library of Congress yet but it should be. Wouldn't that be a fantastic way to recognize her talent?

Yes, she should be recognized by America, but understand why the Hispanic community treasures (rather than claims) Selena. She is not simply Mexican or American; she is BOTH. In order to best honor Selena, we must remember this because it's a key aspect of her life and the people who love her (her fans being from all over the globe). She bridged the gap between Americans and Mexicans that so many felt at the height of her era. People of all races and backgrounds found friendship and love through her music. She was not just 50% 50%, she was 100% Mexican and 100% American! Selena always gave it her all and with her heart. Let's please remember that unity and love between cultures that she advocated for.
