Who Fm Punta Cumbia is
Fm Punta Cumbia is a Uruguayan station broadcasting from Punta del Este with cumbia and tropical rhythms for dancing. It ties the name of one of the country's best-known beach resorts to the genre that lights up the nights and beaches of the Uruguayan coast.
It has a summery, festive spirit, meant to match both the relaxed coastal mood and the urge to dance that cumbia stirs in Uruguay.
What you will hear
The lineup blends danceable cumbia with the tropical flavor of the River Plate: the punch of Colombian cumbia from La Sonora Dinamita, the grupera sound of Los Angeles Azules, and the River Plate strain that Uruguay shares with Argentina.
It is a selection that mixes classics with a steady beat, ideal for an afternoon at the beach or a party that kicks off at sundown in Punta del Este.
