Tumba (music genre)

Tumba is also a musical form native to Aruba and Curaçao. It is of African origin, although the music has developed since it was introduced on the island in the 17th century. The Curacao born composer Jan Gerard Palm was the first composer to write Curacao tumba's. The lyrics can be very explicit. Nowadays the Tumba takes influences from the merengue and Latin jazz.
