You're most welcome! Yesterday I wasn't too confident, but today I'm pretty sure that's the answer. If you Google Amazon bumper music, you'll find plenty of examples.

Hi, Eileen. You made it clear that the term appears in a list of words related to dancing and music, which is why I haven't posted an answer. I just thought that 'Ráfega' might refer to 'cumbia'.

“En los ’90 se veía de otra forma la música tropical, pero con Ráfaga tratamos de hacer lo mejor en la música, estética y siempre fuimos muy respetados. Pero es lo que pasa con todo, uno se va deconstruyendo y la gente se acostumbró y acepta al que le gusta la cumbia; antes por ahí le gustaba y no lo decía. Eso fue cambiando por suerte, como los cambios sociales y la igualdad, es todo positivo”, confiesa Ariel Puchetta el histórico vocalista de la banda que pese a la separación nunca se pudo despegar de la historia que los unía.

I think I would translate it as 'Argentine cumbia'.

Note from asker:
| Thanks Helena, but it is not a list of bands it is a list of dance styles and music, there are no names of bands or groups on the list (It's an Excel document which only contains names with no more information, all regarding copyrights, etc) |
Peer comments on this reference comment:
| agree |
philgoddard
: It's also the name of a musical style, meaning burst, storm, or gust of wind, though I only found one hit for it. It should be left in Spanish, like flamenco or fandango or tango.

Hi, Phil. I'm not sure about leaving it in Spanish. I think it depends on the other terms that appear on the list.

Mara D'Adamo
: I'm from Argentina and I have danced to Ráfaga at many parties. However, I agree with the asker Eileen. It isn't a list of bands, and I honestly don't think it can be translated as "Argentine cumbia". I would not leave it in Spanish as it is confusing.
