Currulao (music genre)
Currulao is a musical genre, though strictly speaking, it also references to the folkloric dance from the Pacific region of Colombia, whose variations can also be observed in regions of Ecuador. Traditionally it is known as old bambuco, and is a dance oriented towards courtship. Its origin is closely related with the African descended culture of the region.
The word currulao alludes to the word "cununao" which is a reference to the drums of African origin that play an important part in the folklore of the Colombian Pacific region, the cununos. It also has a part in the typical dances of Colombia.
