Chumba
View on Wikipediafrom Wikipedia
Chumbais a traditional form of music and dance performed by the Garifuna people in several Central American countries.[1] Like punta (another type of Garifuna music), chumba songs are highly polyrhythmic, but have a slower tempo.[1][2]
The chumba dance is a solo dance performed by a woman, often exhibiting a large degree of individual style.[1][3]
