As time progressed the Cumbia became more modern, and electric instruments and a whole orchestra was incorporated into the music. As you can observe on the left, there's a photo of the typical clothes you would wear to dance Cumbia, of course we don't dress like this anymore, unless we're gonna do a typical dance or performance.

Cumbia
"Cumbia" is a very old, but yet famous type of music. It originated on the Coast of Colombia. It was influenced by Indigenous people and Africans. The people who play this music are called "Gaiteros." The reason they're called this, is because they play an instrument called the "Gaita" (see an image at the bottom). Typical Cumbia is played with two Gaitas, one Maraca and Africans drums.
