Live Cumbia Music Gets all of Carnaval Dancing (Not too hard to do actually)





Vamos Colombia Tour brings you a taste of the live music featured in the free concert in the Plaza de Paz tonight in Barranquilla. A celebration of traditional Colombian cumbia music, with both stars and locals. 

The crowd was dancing along the whole time, with a special part right in front of the stage blocked of for those dancing the whole time, while the rest of the crowd would just sing and dance and cheer as they liked. 

The crowd was a cross section of the Colombian population - all sectors, statuses and colors. Only a few international tourists were glimpsed, although people from all over Colombia come to Barranquilla for the Carnaval each year, especially those who enjoy traditional Colombian music (which is just about all Colombians!)

Notice the traditional woven hat in black and white which is extremely popular at Carnaval, rivaling the Carnaval masks and characters costumes. 

Check out the videos we took:



The street food was plentiful but we did not try it:
