Cumbia Pop
Cumbia pop, also known as Cumbia cheta, is a musical subgenre that fuses cumbia with elements of Pop music, pop and Latin pop. Originated in the 2000s in the Río de la Plata region (which encompasses Uruguay and Argentina), it went mainstream in the 2010s, with the formation of several bands that gained widespread popularity. History Influences and development The cumbia pop genre emerged in the mid-2000s when some musical groups from Uruguay and Argentina made covers of popular songs, mixing them with cumbia and Pop music, pop elements, and published them on YouTube. One of the pioneers was the Uruguayan group VI-EM, followed by the Argentine group Agapornis. However, it did not gain as much notoriety, but at that time other subgenres such as cumbia villera were more popular. Beginning in 2013–2014, cumbia pop went mainstream with the formation in Montevideo of the Uruguayan bands Rombai and Márama, which became extremely popular in Uruguay, Argentina, and other Latin Ame ...

Cumbia is said to have come from funeral traditions in the Afro-Colombian community. Cumbia traditionally uses three drums ('' tambora'', ' and ''llamador''), three flutes (''gaita hembra'' and ''gaito macho'', both forms of , and '' flauta de millo'') and has a or meter. The sound of cumbia can be characterized as having a simple "chu-chucu-chu" rhythm created by the guacharaca. The genre frequently incorporates brass instruments and piano. In order to properly understand the interlocking relationship between cumbia's roots, its Pan-American (and then global) routes, and its subgenres, Colombia's geocultural complexities must be taken into account. Most Hispanic American countries have made their own regional version of Cumbia, some of them with their own part ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cumbia Villera
Cumbia villera () (roughly translated as "slum cumbia", "ghetto cumbia", or " shantytown cumbia", from '' villa miseria'', "slum") is a subgenre of cumbia music originating in Argentina in the late 1990s and popularized all over Latin America and Latin communities abroad. Lyrically, cumbia villera uses the vocabulary of the marginal and lower classes, like the Argentine ''lunfardo'' and ''lenguaje tumbero'' ("gangster language" or "thug language"), and deals with themes such as the everyday life in the ''villas miseria'' (slums), poverty and misery, the use of hard drugs, promiscuity and/or prostitution, nights out at ''boliches'' (discos and clubs) that play cumbia and other tropical music genres (such as the emblematic ''Tropitango'' venue in Pacheco), the football culture of the barras bravas, delinquency and clashes with the police and other forms of authority, antipathy towards politicians, and authenticity in being true ''villeros'' (inhabitants of the ''villas'').

Spanish-language Music
The term Hispanic () are people, cultures, or countries related to Spain, the Spanish language, or broadly. In some contexts, especially within the United States, "Hispanic" is used as an ethnic or meta-ethnic term. The term commonly applies to Spaniards and Spanish-speaking ( Hispanophone) populations and countries in Hispanic America (the continent) and Hispanic Africa (Equatorial Guinea and the disputed territory of Western Sahara), which were formerly part of the Spanish Empire due to colonization mainly between the 16th and 20th centuries.

There was also Spanish influence in the former Spanish East Indies, including the Philippines, Marianas, and other nations.

Grammatical Gender
In linguistics, a grammatical gender system is a specific form of a noun class system, where nouns are assigned to gender categories that are often not related to the real-world qualities of the entities denoted by those nouns. In languages with grammatical gender, most or all nouns inherently carry one value of the grammatical category called ''gender''. The values present in a given language, of which there are usually two or three, are called the ''genders'' of that language. Some authors use the term "grammatical gender" as a synonym of "noun class", whereas others use different definitions for each. Many authors prefer "noun classes" when none of the inflections in a language relate to Sex–gender distinction, sex or gender. According to one estimate, gender is used in approximately half of the world's languages. According to one definition: "Genders are classes of nouns reflected in the behavior of associated words."
