Free Tour of Cali's Historic Center
Overview of the tour in Cali
Cali is characterized by its energetic nightlife with a varied musical offer but at the same time very focused on salsa, the icon of local identity. Many people visit the city to learn to dance salsa caleña because of the fame of its technique and style, or simply to appreciate this art that combines music, joy and flavor.
However, apart from the dance and the local nightlife, we intend that with this Tour you understand that salsa exists thanks to a historical process of African emancipation that many of our ancestors lived and left in us as a cultural and social legacy.
From its beginnings in the Caribbean Antilles, through a great musical mix and its definition in New York, to the boom years of cultural development in Cali between the 60's and 80's, salsa has served as a means of connection between society and guilds, and has become a romantic, folkloric and revolutionary art.
