Cumbia in the United States[edit]Cumbia first came to the U.S. from Colombia and Central America in the mid-20th century and/or during the 1980s. Another wave of enthusiasm for and knowledge of the music arrived with the Colombian immigrants fleeing the turmoil of the 1980s. Since then, cumbia music scenes have grown up and thrived in U.S. cities within the significant Latin American populations of Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, and Corpus Christi. Cumbia music has also caught on with musicians beyond the Latina Diaspora, resulting in fusions of cumbia with other genres such as Afrobeat, punk rock, and brass band music.^[3
