I'm not sure whether that's what you are after as I have no idea what's 'cumbia'. It just had the word and I happened to remember  .
Or maybe something like this?
(Ignore the accordion pic. I'm sure you'll get through it . I find the accordion to be a bit cheesy, but that wasn't half bad. And I *think* it has some complex-tribal sort of drumming?)
Edit: And here's a track from the compilation without any vocals

Heh. Thanks for the suggestions but I actually already own an El Gran Silencio album (it's a pretty good album but the accordion does get old after a while) as well as that "Roots of Chicha" disc. Based on what I've heard I think cumbias are really different depending what their country of origin is and I think the type of cumbia I'm looking for is specifically Mexican. As far as the other style of Mexican music I'm looking for goes (the style with the yodeling and fiddle), you may be one of the few people on here familiar with the one good example of it that I know by name. Do you have the Cafe Tacuba album
Avalanche de Exitos? If you do, the song "Ojala Que Llueva Cafe" is the exact style of music I'm looking for.
