- El porro es uno de los variados aires musicales colombianos, principalmente de la región Caribe. Es un baile tradicional de la cultura sinú. Es un ritmo muy alegre y fiestero, propicio para el baile en parejas. Se ejecuta en compás (música) de 2/4, aunque hay quienes sostienen que su verdadero compás es el 4/4 (al igual que la samba).
- The porro is a musical style and dance from the Caribbean region of Colombia. It is a Colombian Cumbia rhythm that developed into its own sub-genre. It was originally a folkloric expression from the Sinú River area that evolved into a ballroom dance. It is played mostly by brass bands or orchestras and danced in couples. There are two types of folkloric Porro: "Palitiao" and "Tapao" The term "palitiao" derived from the way the bombo drum (used in Cumbia and Porro) is struck along its rim to produce the sound of a cowbell. This type of porro is associated with the Sinu River and its surrounding cities and towns. Most would agree on San Pelayo, Cordoba as its place of birth. This is the reason why it can also take the name of "Porro Pelayero". In orchestrated variants, Porro Palitiao or Pelayero is known as "Gaita". See La Sonora Cordobesa or Pacho Galán for sample music of Porro Palitiao or Colombian Gaita. The Porro Tapao is associated with the savannas around Cartagena. Its birthplace is believed to be the town of Carmen de Bolivar. In orchestrated forms, this type of porro gets the name of "Porro Sabanero". See Lucho Bermudez or Toto La Momposina for samples of Porro Sabanero. Nowadays, orchestrated Porro has lost the widespread popularity it had during the 1940s–1970s in Colombia. However, since the 1980s, in the city of Medellin there has been a growing interest among young people in "reviving" this old but beautiful music and its dance. There are dozens of schools in the city that specialize in Porro, where both young and middle-aged people learn to perform complex turns to Lucho Bermudez's and Pacho Galan's numbers. It's also worth mentioning the Festival del Porro in San Pelayo, which seeks to preserve Porro's "folkloric" roots. There is also the Festival del Porro in Medellin, where all variants of the music are enjoyed and dance competitions are held: both ballroom and folkloric.
