Porro
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The porro (or porro palitiao) is a colombian cumbia rhythm that developed into its own sub-genre. The name is derived from "palitiao", in reference to the way the bombo drum (used in cumbia and porro) is struck along its rim to produce the sound of a cowbell.
The spanish word porro is also a term used in certain areas of Latin America and Spain as a slang term for cannabis informal cigar.
