Morphology
The meaning 'a lively and dynamic atmosphere in the culture of a place' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'cultural' (relating to society's arts and customs) with 'vibrancy' (liveliness/energy). This modifier + noun composition is a straightforward, cross-linguistically common pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Cultural vibrancy may come from the picture of a town buzzing with music, art and markets, where cultural (the town's arts and daily life) and vibrancy (the feeling of movement and energy) join. So, it means the place's culture feels 'alive' and full of activity.
