Y en el nuevo milenio, sigue cabalgando triunfante
El rebelde del acordeon, celso piña y su ronda bogota
Y desde monterrey, una cumbia colombiana
Para todo el mundo...
Mira emociona y suena,
Si ya agua ritmo lleva
Ella como gira y vuela
Mientras aquel se menea
Aquel se menea
Y un saludo para todos mis seguidores
My much respect to la campana
Celso piña yessh yes in a the area
Cummbiaa sonidero sonidero sonidero nacional...
Sonidero nacional tarareando el compas
Salido del barrio vallenato freestyle
Sonidero nacional tarareando el compas
Salido del barrio meca mexican, meca mexican...
El rio y la cadencia buena
Sobre melodia sueña
Ella como gira y vuela
Mientras, aquel se menea
Aquel se menea, aquel se menea...
Y para mi buen hermano lalo y sus cuatro cuerdas magicas
Y el blue de piña, el quique y el celso piña
Aqui presente compa... suena, suena y emociona
Nuestra, nuestra acordeona
Cumbia by de river
Sweet bless this you're the leader
Right no fighters
Word of jah believe it
Columbia te canto con la mano arriba
Cumbia reggae-sound alegrandote la vida
Chilling en la cima, suena nueva rima
Bailando en la campana con mi pana celso piña
Rubahada, cumbia fina
Bailando en la campana con mi pana celso piña
Voy a aprovechar para mandar saludar
A quien comenzo a bailar
Zarandeando el compas
Aprieto y sintonizar
Cuando comienza a soñar
Desde el rio en la ciudad
Nunca deja de soñar
Suena, suena y emociona
Nuestra, nuestra acordeona
Que pasa nelly santana?, baila con el rebelde
Y al buen paso, un gran saludo
Y al blanquito man de venezuela nueva york
De nueva york a monterrey... miren como la goza
Suena, suena y emociona
Nuestra, nuestra acordeona
Suena nuestra acordeona
El rebelde del acordeon, celso piña y su ronda bogota

la cumbia che cambia
Cumbia is one of the more interesting stories in the pantheon of music in the Americas. ¡¡Huepa!!
Whoever it is, it's a great track. Nice

i'd like to hear toxygene after this one someday.
This song is not from Control Machete. It´s name is Cumbia Sobre el Rio (Suena) and Celso Piña is the autor, and Pato Machete participates. A great song played by a great regiomontan music composer. His music was very special and this piece a model of a this kind of rhythm called Cumbia sonidera

What is "Babel"? Never heard of it.

Great song but mislabeled.The song is by Celso Pina.Control Machete is just doing some guest vocals.I t may be on The Babel soundtrack but if you like this it is on Celso's best classic album "Barrio Bravo".He is featured on the unusual movie "Cumbia Callera" set in Monterey where he was from."Ya No Estoy Aqui" (on Netflix) is a story about some young cumbia freaks there .I played him on my World Beat radio show on NPR.

Great rhythm that demands movement. If you would prefer a little tighter arrangement check out Los Corraleros de Majagual on the various artists compilation Colombia Alegre y Romantica.
I have to say I do get looks when people see a 66-year-old anglo driving along, windows down, blasting cumbia.

Play nice. This is a fun, festive song for celebrations. Don't taint it with American politics. We are not the center of the world. Just let the music support your weight.

I was thinking Manu Chao - and you can never have enough of that.
Sadly Both Blanquito Man and Celso passed away. You can check out Blanquitos'band, King Chango, amazing reggue/ska/tropical band from Venezuela/Ny.
This gets me chair-dancing every time. Is there any other cumbia on RP?
Colombia, Venezuela y México unidos! Que Viva Radio Paradise!
Reminds me of Ozomatli. A very good thing indeed.

La Cumbia es para nosotros el pleno ejemplo de lo que la sociedad colombiana es en su esencia, el resultado de la fusión de tres culturas.

Well done Fred. Unless people are given some response to their limited views on this matter, there is the risk they think it is fine to do so. It is therefore worth every second of time to keep responses like this flowing when necessary.

"the ethnics"?!? You're on dangerous ground with that phrase, mate. Over in the UK "ethnics" is recognised code used by racists to refer to anyone dark-skinned and/or foreign. Assuming that you're using the phrase innocently, then you still want to bear in mind that anglosaxons are a very distinct minority across the world, and are "the ethnics" for most of the world's populations.
A big plus of RP is its eclecticism, sampling across musical traditions and countries, and constantly coming up with new and fresh and refreshing music. I listen to RP to be surprised by music like this.

Mero Mero!
Manu Chao meets Fatboy Slim. Cute avocado taste.
Now, this is very close to a traditional cumbia/vallenato! A pulir la hebilla!
Wow, hard to imagine jamming more annoying things into one "song".
Not worth it to even just lower the volume on this song. Have to click off and wait for the next one.

Wow. Really hard to work to. Not enjoyable enough to listen to. Just annoying enough to vote down.
Cool!

I share here a guilty pleasure of cumbia, Mexican made
I totally dig this song! Super fun, great beat, cool accordion. I just bought it on Google Play. I wish more music like this (edge of hip-hop...or further, aka macklemore, rooted in good music) made it on here. But Bill knows BEST!
Thanks for the discovery RP

Erm, for those of us in the Midlands Sprawl, anything from North of Sheffield counts as 'world music'. I figure that this counts as 'world music' on account of it not being anglo-saxon, and coming from Mexico, which is rather a long way away from us.
I wish Bill or Becky would sort out the diacritics in this song title...
And this still deserves maybe a 5 or 6 whilst Basement Jaxx a 7 or 8. But seems proximity to Monterrey maybe is the key, or maybe 'safe and comfortable' world music are the keywords, we can pretend it's world music when it's nice and safely just down the road in CA for those in the big continent.

I've always been a sucker for an accordion, so this gets the nod from me.
Dig the glyphs in the title as well - guess Chrome/Mac needs a new font pack.

Cuuuuumbia Colombiana! Puliendo la hebilla!!
I LLIIIKKE it! Good job, Bill!
1 of 2 songs I enjoy from the Babel soundtrack — gets a 7 from me
this is badazz!
wow... this kind of reminds me of Dirty Dancing 2.
This is the definition of repetition.
Sounds like a Mexican restaurant.
Wow. 3 1's in a row for me. Interesting. It can only go up from here, right?
Come on Bill, that computer of yours is just repeating playlists now. I see my current comments follow the same pattern as last time thses here played.

Celso Piña lives in one of the neighborhoods (Independencia) here in Monterrey, this neighborhood has a very long history of loving colombian music (cumbia) and have a lot of performers, being Celso one of them, I like this song because celebrates that and also one of the landmarks of this city, a dry river.
I remember also that Celso got real angry when a guy named Carlos Vives made it here through a song called "la gota fria", but eventually helped him to breaktrough to a wide audience, before this his music was only followed by the people familiar with the Independencia or other places slum like.

The hit before didn't hurt this.
Flush it please!
Not into it.
I like this, especially since it doesn't have that idiotic police siren that Manu Chao can't seem to do without.
Oh I looove the accordion riff! But I'm biased, as you can tell by my name...
Bring it on.

Ditto here. The suckageness reaches beyond political, cultural, or language barriers. This could be sung in by Princess Diana in English with perfect diction, and it would still blow. Interesting concept...the spoken parts are cool but something ain't right with the basic song itself.
