Who Estacion Cumbia is
Estacion Cumbia is a Peruvian station focused entirely on cumbia, with no frills or detours. It is a straight-to-the-point radio: pure Peruvian tropical rhythm to keep you company through the day, the party and the ride back home.
It is not tied to any one city; it broadcasts the sound heard from northern to southern Peru, part of the country's popular soundtrack.
What you will hear
The stars are the Peruvian cumbia orchestras: Grupo 5, Corazon Serrano, Agua Marina, Hermanos Yaipen and Armonia 10, with choruses sung at full lung. This is the northern cumbia that fills venues and stadiums across the country.
The repertoire runs from cumbia ballads of love and heartbreak to the more upbeat tracks, always with timbales, guiro and keyboards as the backbone.
Cumbia in Peru
Peruvian cumbia was built over decades of mixing, from the chicha of the 1970s to the big orchestras of today. That path turned the genre into one of the most popular in the country, with artists who draw crowds.
A station devoted only to cumbia is the most direct way to live that tradition, with the music playing nonstop at any hour.
