Cumbia is a great way for teens to irritate parents anywhere but Colombia. I hear that asymmetric rhythm in the streets all the time in Bogotá, but I think it's still sort of a novelty in other countries where they're playing "cumbia" with straight 8-16-16. There's a reason why Supermer K2 uses the heavy, heavy cumbia asymmetry in "Resaka". The reason just isn't obvious to Colombians.
