Los Gaiteros de San Jacinto are a Colombian traditional folkloric cumbia group formed in the Caribbean Region of Colombia which have been active since 1940. Their folkloric music preserves the traditional rhythms and sounds product of a mixture of the Colombian Indigenous, Spanish and Afro-Colombian heritage.

The gaiteros meaning those who play the gaita flute and San Jacinto for the town the group originated from San Jacinto in the Colombian Department of Bolívar.

On November 9, 2007 the group won a Latin Grammy award in the category Folkloric Music for their album “Un Fuego de Sangre Pura: Los Gaiteros de San Jacinto from Colombia” (A Fire of Pure Blood), released on Smithsonian Folkways Recordings.
