MUSIC AND DANCE IN COLOMBIA
Music scene
The Music of Colombia contains different genres, traditional and modern in consistent with the features of each region. The diversity in musical expressions found in Colombia is the result of a mixture of African, European (especially Spanish) influences, as well as more modern American and Caribbean musical forms, such as Trinidadian, Cuban and Jamaican.
The traditional music in Colombia is an oral tradition. Singers may extend their repertoire using broadsheets, song books or CDs, but these secondary enhancements are of the same character as the primary songs experienced in the flesh. This music derives from, or is related to, a commemorative character. On certain days of the year, particular songs celebrate the yearly cycle. Weddings, birthdays and funerals may also be noted with songs, dances and special costumes.
In a globalised world, many musicians are fusing traditional music with other styles (usually styles from the popular music genres). While this is no bad thing, it is also not traditional music; it's no longer related to any particular culture, but to the culture of the music being fused with. The points above mean that traditional music rose in a pre-commercial setting. While traditional music continues to evolve today, but generally as a continuation of the music from a pre-globalised era.
Dance forms
Styles like Bambuco, Vallenato and Porro were especially influential. When the Waltz became popular in the 19th century, a Colombian version called Pasillo was invented.
Some of the most popular genres of traditional music in the Caribbean coast are Vallenato and Cumbia. One of the most recognized interpreters of traditional Caribbean and Afro-Colombian music is Totó la Momposina.
