Cumbia Villera

Cumbia Villera is a genre of music originating from Argentina in the early 2000s, blending traditional cumbia rhythms with urban, working-class lyrics that often address social realities, struggles, and daily life. Characterized by its energetic beat, repetitive melodies, and use of electronic instruments, it reflects the experiences of marginalized communities. The lyrics frequently depict themes of poverty, nightlife, and resilience. Cumbia Villera has become a cultural expression for many young people, combining musical vibrancy with social commentary, and has played a significant role in shaping Argentine urban musical identity.
