Cumbia, vallenato, and the salsa of Cali
Colombia is a South American nation whose Caribbean coast gave the world cumbia and vallenato, an accordion-driven storytelling style recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage. The city of Cali is internationally known as a major hub for salsa, making Colombia one of Latin America's deepest musical wells.
Help represent Colombia →Colombia's independence, led by Simón Bolívar, was achieved in stages between 1810 and 1819, following centuries of Spanish colonization and the pre-Columbian Indigenous civilizations that came before it.
Its Caribbean coast became a musical crossroads, blending Indigenous, African, and Spanish influences into cumbia and vallenato, while the city of Cali became an internationally known hub for salsa.
Cumbia originated on Colombia's Caribbean coast, blending Indigenous, African, and Spanish influences. Vallenato, an accordion-driven storytelling style from the same region, is recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage. Cali, meanwhile, is internationally known as a major hub for salsa.
