It is also a direct descendent of Cumbia music, mentioned above. Widely regarded for its popularity, Bachata is a highly romantic genre of music in Colombia and often depicts tales of love. At its simplest level, it is an easier style of dance compared to Salsa or more elaborate forms and you can adopt its fundamental rules through observation and mirroring your partner. Although Bachata is not played as much as other genres, it does play between every few songs of the more popular genres.
Of course, this stigma is not mainstream anymore, and Bachata may very well become a more popular genre of Colombian music in the future. Perhaps one of the least recognized musical genres among mainstream Colombia is Porro. With a very old history, Porro is often confused with Cumbia due to its use of percussions as they both have African descents.
The Porro melody is very party oriented and will bring everyone to the dance floor with its energetic and light-hearted spirit. Originally from the Dominican Republic, Merengue has been adopted and widely embraced by the Colombian culture. Either way it is extremely lighthearted, which makes it a great experience. Another Colombian genre that is heavily influenced by its African roots is Champeta. What differentiates this form of music from its other counterpart genres is its focus on snare drums and guitar rather than just percussions.
Like Porro, the Champeta will be heard a lot around the Caribbean coast rather than big cities like Medellin and Bogota. Corporate Account. Statista Accounts: Access All Statistics. Basic Account. The ideal entry-level account for individual users. Corporate solution including all features.
