I think because only Fulanito can get away with using an accordian, all else(mostly Mexicans and Colombians) sound corny.
Maybe, but colombians are creative and talented enough to write and compose their own songs

I have to admit I am ignorant about Cumbia (I am not Dominican). All I knew is that it came from Colombia. I had no idea it had some Caribbean root, nor do I really hear the African rythms
Honestly- you going to hate me for saying this- too me, it sounds like Mexican music
How do you dance to it ?
Do you have a link to classics Cumbia hits ?
Thanks !

What about the much ignored but immensely talented Dominican national treasure that is Raulin Rosendo.
Is he still producing?
He Kicks a$$.

How do I go about embedding a video? Do i just post the embed code from youtube?
He is quite the talent, my favourite song of his is "Uno se cura".... but is he still producing? To me, he is in the 90's classic shelf. Salsa was still thriving back in the 90's with the salsa erotica/salsa romantica movement (of which Raulin was a member).... but what he done lately, I don't think I have heard any new productions.
He probably got locked up again?
Someone needs to get him working.
For me he was like the Jonny Cash of Salsa.

La Excelencia comes to mind:
YouTube - La Excelencia Salsa Dura
Even dogs like it!
YouTube - Hot Salsa Dog
10 points just for saying that. But you know JJ, we should start a Norteno band. I will be the guy in the tight jeans AND cowboy hat and you can the guy in the tight jeans AND the huge belt buckle.
I love La Excelencia !!!!! Saw them last year in a free concert, they are so energetic !!
Back to the topic of cumbia, I don't know where you guys get the idea cumbia is an accordion-based genre... it's not. Tradionally danced cumbia looks more like perico ripiado than nortena. You guys must be thinking of mexican music, you can't compare mexican and colombian, colombians have rhythm LOL

Oh my god, cumbia like andean flute music? I like andean flute, but colombian rhythms are slightly hipper than that... there is a diff between ecuadorians, bolivians, peruvians and colombians :dead::dead::dead:

I really enjoyed this but in the Salsa video I couldn't for the life of me hear or see the cumbia part.
