Cumbia, the clip-clop rhythm that came out of Colombia in the 19th century, is in the midst of a great evolution.  Musicians around the world are fusing it with their own genres, sampling it, funking it up, rapping over it, remixing their songs to it, and re-imagining it in countless ways.

This week on Global A Go-Go, I'll devote the full two hours to my favorite nueva cumbia recordings of the last decade.  Put on your pointy boots and dance along.

Here's what you need to know about the pointy boots craze, courtesy of VBS.TV:
