Cumbia is culture, music, dance, and much more. When speaking about it, it's important to remember that it's an evolution spanning millennia. What we now perceive as new or modern has already existed in some form. The roots are just as important as the current form, so the sounds and techniques we heard years ago are still alive and cherished by successive generations.
Cumbia Warszawa is a collective dedicated to promoting South American music in Poland and Europe by organizing concerts and events, and building bridges between Poland and Colombia and Mexico. Over the past three years, they have successfully organized approximately 30 musical events in Poland, including concerts with guests from America, Colombia, Mexico, and Argentina.
The collective has also performed abroad at Berlin's Gretshen Club during the Latin American Film Festival and in Colombia, in Bogota and Medellin.
The next step in the collective's development is a music album.
