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!
