Tecnocumbia

History

Tecnocumbia is cumbia rebuilt with electronic drums, electric guitar, synthesizers and samplers. The name was coined in Mexico, but the sound grew up in several countries at once under other names. In Mexico it began in the early 1980s as a variant of Mexican cumbia: Super Show de los Vazkez from Veracruz, formed in 1981, were among the first groups with that electric sound, alongside Los Temerarios, Los Bukis and Fito Olivares. In the early 1990s Selena scored hits in the US and Mexico with Como la flor and Carcacha, and her single Technocumbia gave the style its name. Peru took its own route. Peruvian cumbia had used electric guitars and synthesizers since the early 1960s, turned more Andean in what Peruvians call chicha, and in the mid-1990s tecnocumbia sprang from that Andean cumbia. Rossy War became its most important singer, with hits in Peru and Mexico and an even bigger following in the Latin community of the US. Ecuador picked it up in 1992 with Grupo Coctel, and Chile knows a similar style as Sound. The Mexican and South American versions share a Colombian root but developed separately and do not sound quite alike.
