Tour Details

At the indicated time, we'll meet at Plazoleta Jairo Varela to start our free salsa tour of Cali. Are you ready to discover how this city adopted this musical genre as its hallmark?

First of all, we'll make our way through the vibrant streets of Cali while talking about the history of Salsa in Colombia. How was this music born and how has it evolved in the country? We'll tell you all about it!

On our way, we'll stop to admire the recent murals that make a fascinating historical and artistic journey. Did you know that salsa music represents an African emancipation movement in Colombia? It's amazing how joyful its rhythm is despite it!

We'll learn how salsa and street art have shaped the identity of Cali since the 60s and spread throughout the country. The murals we'll visit depict salsa characters who have been icons of this music. In addition, we'll learn about the political and social activism closely linked to this art form: every hip movement and every brushstroke has a cause!

Finally, we'll say goodbye 3 hours after the start of the activity.
