The latest episode of the always excellent NPR Code Switch #podcast on the history of #cumbia music is well worth a listen – such a fascinating and important part of #LatinAmerican music.

I first came across cumbia in the 2019 movie "I'm No Longer Here", and this podcast is a really great dive into its origins.
