CUMBIA!@Frost
Vilma Diaz y La Sonora Dinamita, and El FeelingJoin us for a night of rhythmic celebration at CUMBIA!@Frost. Originating from Colombia, cumbia is a blend of sounds taken from indigenous, African, and Spanish music. Bring the entire family for arts and crafts, face painting, photo booth, cumbia dance lessons, and more. The dance floor will heat up with Vilma Diaz y La Sonora Dinamita and El Feeling.
Without La Sonora Dinamita, it’s possible cumbia never would have made it out of Colombia. The group formed in 1960 and spread the music across their home country. Then, after a breakup, they reformed in 1975 to bring the beat to the world. With a ten-piece brass section, the band has long been a showcase for male and female singers, and songs like “Mi Cucu,” “Maruja,” and “Cumbia de la Cadentia” have inspired younger performers for years—resulting in the 2021 collaborative album Transformando la Cumbia, recorded with Mon Laferte, Flor de Toloache, and more.
