Video: Music in Colombia

10 months ago - in Colombia

 

 

Colombia has a highly diverse ethnicity, and music has always been part of its cultural heritage.
 
This South American country features rhythmic music like reggaeton, salsa, cumbia, son and merengue. And unlike how western travelers see the sexuality of music, such as that of salsa, Colombians free themselves from such perception and see dancing as a normal and cultural action. 
 
See a piece of Colombia’s music in Playing for Change’s video, in which the user shares,
 
We traveled throughout the villages and cities of Colombia and along the way we were introduced to some of the best musicians in the country. This nation with so much history and soul is represented perfectly by the music and spirit of Toto La Momposina and her band. We asked her to share a traditional Colombian song with us, and this version of "los Sabores Del Porro" performed beneath an ancient tree is the result.
 

So start planning your next trip as soon as possible!
