Cumbia Andina
The Cumbia Andina , also called Cumbia Peruana or Chicha , is an originally Peruvian form of music, which has also established itself in other Latin American countries .
It was created in the late 1970s and early 1980s in the barriadas of Lima from a connection between the Peruvian huayno , the Colombian cumbia and rock elements . In the Cumbia Andina, the singer or, more rarely, the singer is accompanied by electric guitars , electric basses , keyboards or synthesizers , as well as percussion instruments such as bongos and timbales . The lyrics often deal with the situation and the problems of the indigenous people who emigrated from the Andes to Lima, most of whom live in the barriadas of Lima.
In the mid-1990s, the Techno-Cumbia (Spanish: tecnocumbia) with elements from Techno , Reggae and Salsa emerged as the form of the Cumbia Andina .
