In Colombia there are so many musical rhythms, as well as cultural diversity. You can find from ancestral and aboriginal rhythms, to modern and fashionable rhythms; which fill the bodies and souls of the Colombian population with energy, discover in this post what are those rhythms that make the hearts of my homeland COLOMBIA vibrate.
It all begins with the Colombian aboriginal tribes, which over the years have adapted the rhythms of other parts of the world, the main influence on Colombian music is African, since thousands of slaves were brought to the American continent to serve in the conquest. and in their spare time and when allowed, they celebrated with their African music and dances.
This is why in the coastal areas where the slaves arrived and settled, the musical roots are very marked by the African culture, in this case we can find rhythms such as: the Champeta, the Cumbia and the Porro. These rhythms are among the most representative and joyful in the country.
There is also Argentine and European influence in rhythms such as Vallenato, which emerged with minstrels who went from town to town singing their experiences accompanied by an accordion. In another part of the country more in the center you can hear rhythms more marked by string instruments, such as Llanera and Popular music. In general, I don't like this last rhythm very much since their songs mostly speak of heartbreak, betrayal and drug trafficking.
This has definitely been a diverse country both in culture and in its music, which has among its lyrics the stories of a land that has seen artists such as Joe Arroyo, Diomedez Diaz, El Sayayin, Kaleth Morales, Shakira grow. , Juanes, among others.
I invite you to listen to the wonderful music of my country and to visit it too if you still like its music, imagine its people.
