Cumbia is a popular form of music throughout Latin America.
This video is clearly political, by the Orkestra Popular San Bomba (Holy Music Popular Orchestra).
Orkestra Popular literally means Popular Orchesta, but in actuality would mean something like Pop Music or Street Music.
Bomba literally means bomb, but has so many meanings that it is impossible to translate apart from context. In this context, it probably means music. Bomba is a type of MUSIC.
San means holy.
The group’s name is clearly farcical and idiomatic.
This is the group’s Facebook Page (here).
Again, one must remember that in Latin America there is no equivalent of AIPAC, so the Palestinian viewpoint is more mainstream. The chief exception is Brazil, which has a very large pro-Israel Evangelical community. But this video comes from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
