Bambuco
Bambuco (also: el bambuco ) is a style of music that comes from Andean Colombia .
In terms of time, the Bambuco is similar to the European waltz or the Polska (not Polka ). It has either 6/8 or 3/4 time . It is usually sung in a duet and accompanied by guitar (s) and tiple .
Typically Bambuco is also danced accompanying, so Bambuco is also the name of the dance.
