Although Cumbia is not formally taught, throw on some Selena at a South Texas party and watch as the crowd hits every beat. The culture in Corpus Christi is vibrant, unique and often revolves around music. Cumbia originally began as a folk dance from Colombia, then moved its way across Latin America before landing in South Texas. Now armed with a little Tejano flair, this upbeat and fun sound fuels the “Corpus Christi Cumbias” as they make their debut on the baseball diamond this summer.
