Bambuco is a traditional music genre from
Colombia. Its metric structure is similar to the
European
waltz or
polska (not to be confused with the
polka). Typically a bambuco piece is accompanied by a stylized group dance in either a 6
8 or 3
4
meter.
Bambuco took a cultural foothold in the Andean region of Colombia and has spread in popularity throughout Latin America. The Festival Folclórico y Reinado Nacional del Bambuco in Neiva is a festival celebrating bambuco music.
" Cuatro Preguntas" is one of the most famous songs in the genre, [1] having been included by El Tiempo at No. 8 on its list of the 50 best Colombian songs of all time. [2]
