Cante with the Spanish-American origin, gestated by José Tejada Martín, Pepe Marchena, who has been the first in perform this style apart from being its creator. Marchena invented this cante together with Hilario Montes taking the Spanish Rumba as a base and announced it for the first time accompanied by the cantaor from Madrid Niño de la Flor.

In opinion of José Blas Vega when he studied the styles of Ida y Vuelta ( flamenco styles which origin is Latin-American music ), "towards  1930, a new style the Colombiana, which is motivated more by a song than by the folkloric influx, and which can be from Colombia, also appears." In general, people do not dance with it. They only sing and play Colombiana, but since it is a very rhythmical music, it is possible to dance with it.
