Pop cumbia


Cumbia pop, is a subgenre of cumbia that has its origins in Argentina, based on the phenomenon known as "Movida Tropical" or Argentine cumbia, the latter being the particular way of conceiving tropical rhythms in the southern cone of the continent.

History

It arises in the 80s with groups like "Cumbia Pop", which stands out with their album "Corazón Salvaje". The style is developed as an evolution of popular rhythms of that country, such as the quartet, the National Rock, and Argentine cumbia, the latter, the typical phenomenon of dance ballrooms known in Argentina as "Bailantas". In the 21th century, the phenomenon evolves with the contributions of rhythms derived from popular Argentine cumbia, such as cumbia villera and other rhythms such as "electro pop", with bands such as Miranda. Among the Argentine bands that made the genre popular, which later would also be adopted with great success in Uruguay, we can mention Agapornis. "Currently, we can find Uruguayan Uruguayan women as influential bands of this subgenre: Rombai Marama and Mano Arriba. For this reason, as well as tango, or the particular language trait characteristic of the region, Pop cumbia is a phenomenon clearly rioplatense".

Precursors

Its origin was created in 1987 by the group Cumbia Pop where the album Corazón Salvaje stood out, many years later, with the birth in 2011 of those who retake the Cumbia Pop style Lovebird.

Uruguay

In 2012, Vi-Em brought the style to Uruguay with the song "Quiero Ve Danzar", together with the Argentine band Grupo Play. Between 2013 and 2015 new bands of this genre appeared in Uruguay, which breaks into the market with some bands that reap success quickly, such as Marama, Rombai, RC Band, Toco Para Vos, and Canto Para Bailar, among others; who left behind performances by other bands as a striking element and launched into the creation of their own songs as a priority.
