cumbiaremos — we will cumbia

Cumbiaremos is a playful and unique verb created from the noun "cumbia," a popular Latin American music genre and dance.

It literally means "we will cumbia," implying that the song will make you dance to cumbia music. This word is interesting because it's not a standard Spanish verb, but rather a creative neologism that perfectly captures the energetic and celebratory spirit of the song.

Get ready to move with Eddie Palmieri's "Abarriba Cumbiaremos"! This song is all about the joy of dancing and celebrating, especially in Colombia. It starts with a playful "Chau chau chau pollo" [Bye bye bye chicken] and a declaration that we'll be dancing with the same water, suggesting a shared, communal experience.

Palmieri and Herman Olivera invite us to dance alone or with others, promising that "arriba es lo que haremos" [upwards is what we will do] – a call to lift our spirits and move our bodies. They mention cities like Medellín and Barranquilla, and even a wild boar, adding a touch of humor and adventure. It's a fun, energetic track that makes you want to join the party and dance until dawn, because "la gente es muy alegre y saludarlos arriba" [the people are very happy and greet them upwards].
