La Pollera Colorá

The song 'La Pollera Colorá' by Damas Gratis is a vibrant and energetic track that celebrates the joy of dancing cumbia, a traditional Colombian dance and music genre. The lyrics invite a woman to put on her 'pollera colorá,' which is a brightly colored skirt often worn during cumbia dances. The song is an invitation to dance and enjoy the rhythm, highlighting the woman's ability to dance to the 'sabroso' (tasty) rhythm that the singer brings.

The repetitive chorus, 'Agachate y levanta tu pollera, Asi yo te meneo pa' dentro y pa' fuera,' which translates to 'Bend down and lift your skirt, so I can swing you in and out,' adds a playful and sensual element to the song. It suggests a close and intimate dance, where the movements are in sync with the music. The phrase 'vamo' a bailar,' meaning 'let's dance,' encapsulates the song's essence, which is about the communal and celebratory nature of dancing cumbia.

Damas Gratis is known for their cumbia music, which often incorporates elements of Argentine cumbia villera, a subgenre of cumbia with roots in the shantytowns of Argentina. Their music typically features themes of everyday life, love, and partying, and 'La Pollera Colorá' is no exception. It's a song that encourages listeners to let loose, enjoy the moment, and participate in the cultural tradition of cumbia dancing.
