What is this (latin) style in 3?

[Sam Olson]

I've been trying so hard to find the music that has this particular sort of bass line, rhythmically speaking. I've heard it a few times throughout my life, but never knew what it's called, or what song it's in, or what keywords to use to find it otherwise! Heard it in a song played by Las Guaracheras, the Colombian band. And more recently, I was at a local Mexican-Peruvian restaurant and heard it playing on their radio. Asked the server, and he called it "Peruvian cumbia", and I don't doubt him, but I can't find it when I search those words on YouTube or Google. I live in the US midwest, and my heritage, as far as I know, hails from Belgium and I think Scandinavia, so this isn't my culture per se. But I have played a good variety of salsa in the past 10 years or so, and I got the itch to learn what I can. Bassists with experience with cumbia or other Latino music, please educate me! I drew this up from memory, take a look/listen and does this kind of bass line ring a bell?


(quarter = ~210)

I am sorry I cannot say the name of the style, but you are right on the Peruvian hint. I have played in a traditional afro-peruvian band and they have this kind of bass style. maybe you can check the Landó Peruano

In my Latin days I played 6/8 rumbas, but not 3/4 like this.
It strikes me as a 3/4 adaption of a mid century Son Montuno
Especially with that dropped 1

I'm no cumbia expert tho
