The
Colombian music is an expression of the Colombian culture, which contain
different music genres, traditional and moderns, according to the features of
each geographic area, while this is frequent to find the different musical
patterns in the same region. The diversity of the musical expressions established
in Colombia can be seen as the result of the combination of Africa, native

In
the globalized world, several musicians are fusing traditional music with other
pattern (which is usually styles from the famous music genres). While it is not

been fused with. As a result of the traditional music problems to be found in a
pre-commercial setting, although the traditional music continues to develop
today, but generally as a continuation of the music from a pre-globalised
culture.
The
styles such as vallenato and porro were especially influential, when the waltz
became the famous in the 19th century, a Colombian version known as
pasillo was made.
