Cali Salsa Tour
Description
Our salsa journey begins by diving into modern salsa history, starting with the iconic Grupo Niche from the 1980s at the Plazoleta Jairo Varela. As one of Cali’s most influential groups, they brought the city’s salsa to the world stage, and you’ll learn how their sound shaped Cali’s musical identity.
Next, we’ll enjoy a break to savor some local Cali food like cholado, marranitas, pandebono, to get some energy for our salsa journey.
After a necessary food break, we0ll be immersing ourselves in the origins of salsa in Cali's Salsa Museum in Barrio Obrero. We’ll trace its roots back to early 20th-century Cuban rhythms like Guajira, Chachachá, and Mambo, and explore how these rhythms evolved and mixed with others in the melting pot of New York, ultimately giving birth to salsa.
To end the day, we’ll put all this history into action with a fun and energizing salsa class. You’ll learn the steps that have come to define Cali’s dance floors and feel the rhythm in your own moves, rounding off the day in true salsa style!
This is my propposal to discover SALSA in my hometown, for many, Salsa capital of the world. How and why is salsa so important here? Where to dance it? How to dance it? How to PLAY it? A multisensorial tour with music, history, steps, instruments and of course...
