Don't be ignorant- read up on the Orishas and the Gods in the syncretic religions of the Caribbean before you go stereotype slinging. Your comment gives insight into your psyche and it's not pretty.
This goes much deeper than Southern African American-- read up!!! Ms. Dunham was a Vodun high priestess. The subtle, rhythmic dance is a part of the indigenous African and Afro-Columbian culture. "Cumbia" is a dance of courtship practiced among African slaves where women hold a candle and raise their skirts. "Cumbe" is African Guinean music. The aromatic smoke pleases the gods. Take a closer look.
Classically stunning. Simply mesmerizing!

My giril is smoking a blunt and drinking thug passion on stage while dancing, what a southern African American cliche'. So understood. Cumbia.
