A good tune inspires good discussion.

Way too much with the arm's for my liking.. less is more as usual

To be fair this woman has really long arms...I mean she has to do something with them

Traditional Cumbia is probably not what they dance at parties.

However south americans tend to move side to side, a bit similar to son step but more hips and more a 2/2 rhythm. In my experience Central Americans and Mexicans bounce more, and make more use of the back rock.

That is almost in line with what I see but there are some glaring exceptions in my local.

Seems this has turned into a cumbia discussion thread

Without the "I wish they'd stop playing cumbia at salsa events" comments and thread I read before learning salsa.

I've never read it. I don't think I've ever heard a cumbia at a salsa event. I did hear one at La Bodega Cubana in Cali (which I didn't mind whatsoever). That's a venue rather than an event and it is (obviously) in S America so they get a pass.

In fact if they did start to play occasional cumbias at salsa events I would like it.

Don't believe anything a certain former poster says about a certain city.
