Colombian Culture "Cumbia Colombiana" ''La Gota Fria'' "Colombia Tierra Querida" Listen to Colombian music Colombian music can be seperated into five different categories. They are cumbia, porro, pasillos, bambuco, and vallenato. It is important to know that Colombian music has a great influence from African standards. African slaves played a vital role in the development of Colombian music. Cumbia and porro are very much alike. Colombia Tierra Querida is an example of porro music. Pasillo has a sort of waltz type of characteristic to it. Pasillo songs are usually more romantic, expressive and exciting. Bambuco music is the product of mixing Spanish and native cultures together. It has both European and Afro-hispanic qualities. Vallenato started with songs composed by peasants near Valledupar. This type of music was influenced by the Africans, Europeans, arahuacos, and the guajiros. Europeans had the greatest influence on this music type with the introduction of the accordian with buttons. ''La Gota Fria'' is an example of vallenato music. Music Here you can read and learn about Colombia's art, food, and music.

Lebanon News Mideast News World News Medical News ... Lebanonwire , October 10, 2003 The Daily Star Colombian cultural day brings out Lebanese rumberos Visit of Los Chamanes group prompts ambassador to organize event Christina Foerch Special to The Daily Star The Colombian music group Los Chamanes had come to Beirut upon the invitation of the embassy and the Holiday Inn in Verdun (with help from the Colombian External Affairs Ministry), so the ambassador decided to organize a series of events around the band for one day only, in order to promote Colombian culture in Lebanon. Shakira may be the most recent example, but the list of well-known Colombians with Lebanese roots is long. The country has boasted a president of Lebanese origin, along with many senators and members of Parliament, a number of successful businessmen, directors of universities, journalists, artists and more. Obviously, Mallat wanted the public to enjoy the more positive aspects of Colombian culture and appreciate the good things the country has to offer. As such, she arranged for an exhibition of gold jewelry produced by the Galeria Cano, all reproductions of originals in the Gold Museum in Bogota, which possesses an impressive collection of 35,000 gold jewels dating back several hundred years. The evening of the festival was enlivened by the music of Los Chamanes, which brought the spirit of the Barranquilla carnival to the hotel.

14. Features - Colombian Dance Troupe A Symbol Of Latin Diversity By teaching and performing Latin American dances for the North American public, she hopes the colombian culture she shares will nurture the relationship http://www.theguardsman.com/20021009/columbiandance.html

Volume 134, Issue 3 Colombian dance troupe a symbol of Latin diversity By April McGill The Colombian Ethnic Dance Ensemble educates and entertains with their rhythmic displays of elegant and mystic motion. T he city's diverse Latino cultures, blended together to create its "mestizo," or mixed people population, includes many Central and South American indigenous cultures. Because California is bordered by Mexico, people perceive it as the only Latino culture represented here through art and music. Director and choreographer Beatriz Restrepo's traditional dance teachings create awareness of her Bogota, Colombia homeland among the communities of San Francisco. By teaching and performing Latin American dances for the North American public, she hopes the Colombian culture she shares will nurture the relationship between different human cultures with a professional artistic approach. "We are not just immigrants," Restrepo said. Restrepo created Colombian Ethnic Dance Ensemble (CEDE) in 1996 with manager Beat Rettenmund, and members of the local Colombian and wider Latino community. Restrepo's vision of a local Colombian dance group arose when she noted the absence of traditional dance, music or art that represented Colombia. "I wanted it to have a strong voice for my culture and show that there is not just terror in Colombia," Restrepo said. "It is a beautiful country."Resprepo first expressed her gift for dance at age six with her performance in the play Rin Rin Argucuajo by South American children's writer, Rafael Pombo. "In this play I had my first sense of art," she said with a smile on her face as she reminisced about her innocent Colombian girlhood. "I knew I was going to do this."

It is considered to be one of the department’s most attractive tourist sites, for its thermal springs offer tourists the choice of health. The department of Boyacá is situated in the Eastern Cordillera, in central-eastern Colombia. The complex topography of the area gives it a range of temperatures from below zero to thirty-five degrees centigrade. Bursting with history, the department has been the emblem of Colombian culture.
