Is it valid to accept that Bucaramanga be proposed as world capital of cumbia, as proposed by the mayor?

Watch broadcast on Facebook.

The guest speakers are Julio César Acelas and Jaison Neutra, who will address the topic A rhythm and its contexts, cumbia in Bucaramanga, from their experience in academic analysis and musical activity, respectively.

The central purpose of the session is to provide elements to understand the convergence between global and local contexts, which is expressed in the popularity of cumbia in the city, as well as the influence of technological elements and socioeconomic conditions.
