Saludos! I am from La Republica Independiente de Barranquilla. -- If you are looking for a day trip, away from the hustle and bustle that Barranquilla can be, a place that’s no so far from Barranquilla and that you can get in less than half hour by taxi. I can suggest a place my husband and I found on our trip last year, and continues to be the place we go to when we are in Barranquilla and need to get away. - Las Playas de Sabanilla, around The Castillo San Antonio de Salgar. One can also have lunch inside the Castillo in their restaurant or on the terraza, the food is delicious and the fish is the best [sierra and lebranche] I have had in Barranquilla in a while and the service was A +. The Castillo is an historical landmark that is in a constant process to be restored to its original Spanish colonial architecture. The beach was sandy and clean, we spend most of the day walking the beach, talking and exploring, it was relaxing and quiet. At the end of the day, we had the restaurant manager called us a cab, and returned home to my family. The beach is most quiet after January 6th, when the entire tourist go back home.

I will suggest you ask Nelly to find out more about it. I hope this can help and that you enjoy your next visit to Barranquilla.

Darloup, I just visited your website, about two minutes ago, and liked your music selection!
That Tito Nieves song is pretty cool, I heard it for the first time in Barranquilla in December/January of this year.
It's a great site, Congratulations!

Here is another cumbia, I hope you like it.
I have read your comments in favor of Colombia's gastronomy, thank you! They are very educational for the naive.

Darloup,
I disagree 100% with this, "but as long as they perform good colombianas cumbias, who are we to argue?"
It's only a valid point if we do not know the difference between Colombian cumbia and other cumbias so with that thought in mind, your comment makes sense! Who are we?

"Which of the cumbias on my site are not 100% colombianas?" I found five that they are NOT and they are all on the first page.
1. Ven bailalo, (Cumbia Cumbia) a cumbia that the lyrics are all about Santo Domingo?? And I was able to hear the name of the band, "Musicalisimo Flamante."
If you understand cumbia music very well besides just the manifestation of one or two instruments that you’re familiar with or love to hear, you will know that the lyrics is a key player in a cumbia song, and without regard to the lyrics, the beat is not a prototype of Colombian cumbia!

2. Cumbia colombiana
3. Jorge Meza, colombia coqueta
4. "Pot-pourri de Cumbias colombianas des années 80s". Althought you can hear Pastor Lopez' song in the intro not all the mix are Colombian cumbias.
5. Grupo la Perla colombiana.

Darloup,
Nobody was questioning the history of Cumbia music, I agree, but now that you have mentioned it allow me to compliment you comments by posting a bit more info about Cumbia, for those who are interested please read more here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumbia

“Colombia should be proud of the fact that cumbias managed to travel beyond its own geographical borders and that they are now so popular in South and Central America...”

Yes, indeed Colombia or Colombians are proud that the cumbia music has migrated and has been welcomed by other countries. In fact, I have opened in PBH while ago a thread of Cumbias from different countries.

The problem that you and I are having is that you have posted about four “cumbias” in your website and you’ve stated that they are Colombian cumbias and I have said that’s Not true!
I believe you have posted them because you like them and there is nothing wrong with that, but you should also explain the origin of said cumbias.

Yes, I sent you via email several cumbias that were from other countries for a reason, but I also warn you about the other “cumbias” posted on the Internet that are not Colombian cumbias.
If you read carefully the comments posted below the so called Colombian cumbia you will find out the disappointment that many Colombians have when a foreigner tells everyone that are Colombian cumbias. There is a HUGE difference between Colombian cumbias and the cumbias from Mexico.
It appears that the cumbias that you claimed to be Colombian cumbias which are the ones that I have questioned here and they are a reflection of a one-sided opinion because today there are other cumbias from other countries that are even better than the one you claimed are Colombian cumbias. For instance, Venezuela has several Great cumbias after Colombia and the lyrics and the music are the elements desire in a cumbia song.
The cumbias that you like fall into the category of Colombians such as Lizandro Mesa, Aniceto Molina and Cuarteto Imperial, I think I will open another thread with cumbias from the other countries to elaborate further.

Monpirri says on Jan 12, 2009, 11:37:

We almost in agreement, but if you think the Mexican cumbians are 100% Colombians cumbias that is a different matter. I think it will help more, for the music newbies, if you post a subtitle underneath the four videos stating that they are not from Colombia, in your website.
Is that fair? Or you could compliment your cumbias selection with cumbias from other countries as well, if you do compliment your music selection it will show that you are not narrow minded or will indicate that you posses knowledge of other cumbias from other countries.
Everything else seems to be Ok so I have nothing further to say.
