Crossover Estereo

Estacion colombiana dedicada a los ritmos tropicales y la mejor cumbia para bailar.
Who Crossover Estereo is
Crossover Estereo is a Colombian station built for dancing. The name says it all: it blends the tropical rhythms that fill dance floors, with cumbia as one of its pillars and the Caribbean flavor always in the mix.
It has a festive feel, the kind of radio that plays at home, in the car and at the party, with no long pauses and no formality. Here the energy and the urge to move run the show.
What you will hear
The heart of the lineup is tropical cumbia, that bright, danceable version that crosses over into porro and salsa. The arrangements are upbeat, with horns, Caribbean percussion and choruses that stick with you.
You will hear the classic repertoire of La Sonora Dinamita, porro orchestras in the vein of Lucho Bermudez, and a crossover selection that hops easily between cumbia, salsa and tropical.
Colombia's tropical flavor
The Colombian tropical sound was born on the Caribbean coast, where the heat, the sea and the parties shaped it. That is where danceable cumbia and porro came from, sounds that now play all over Latin America.
A crossover station like this celebrates exactly that blend: it does not commit to a single genre, only to the pleasure of dancing, and cumbia is the perfect way in.
If you are curious where this rhythm comes from, read about the story of cumbia and its origins before you get back to dancing.
