    "comment": "“Cumbia del Monte Fuji” is a thrilling cross-cultural musical moment from Japanese ensemble Minyo Crusaders in collaboration with Colombian cumbia provocateurs Frente Cumbiero. Emerging as the lead track from their 2020 EP Minyo Cumbiero (From Tokyo to Bogota), this track reimagines the classic Cumbia Del Monte originally popularized in Latin music history, infusing it with unmistakable Japanese flair and stunning global rhythm.\n\nMinyo Crusaders, a Tokyo-based collective, are known for transforming traditional min’yō — Japanese folk songs historically sung by fishermen, laborers, and communities — by layering them with Latin, Afro-Caribbean, and world music grooves, breathing new life into centuries-old melodies. Their partnership with Frente Cumbiero — masters of modern cumbia rooted in Colombia’s vibrant musical heritage — adds bold horn lines, rich percussion, and that signature cumbia rhythm that gets listeners moving.\n\nIn “Cumbia del Monte Fuji,” the celebratory beat meets clear, captivating vocals and an irresistible groove that bridges continents, reflecting fusion not as a gimmick but as a joyous cultural exchange. It has become one of the standout tracks in their catalog, showcasing how music transcends borders and traditions.\n\nSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/1O9k2KJkdTALaxjkzUoLCT?si=1c4710a253054d38",
