The Colombian ensemble Los Gaiteros de San Jacinto, or the Pipers of San Jacinto, was founded in the 1950s with the aim of raising up Colombian culture. And through several generations of musicians, they keep finding popularity among new audiences. Hosts Marco Werman and Carolyn Beeler share a taste of their music, and what cumbia would have sounded like when it was first innovated.
