Millo flutes, Gaita flutes, and güiros were instruments borrowed from these Native American tribes. The slaves were later influenced by the sounds of Amerindian instruments from the Kogui and Kuna (people) tribes, who lived between the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta and the Montes de María in Colombia and Kuna Yala in Panamá. Cumbia was mainly performed with just drums and Claves. Spain used its ports to import African slaves, who tried to preserve their musical traditions and also turned the drumming and dances into a courtship ritual. Cumbia started in the caribean coast of what is now Colombia and Panama, mainly in or around Cartagena during the period of Spanish colonization. Cumbia is a variant of Guinean cumbe music.
