DESCRIPTION
Have a drink, dance and let the irresistible rhythm of cumbia take over your body. From Colombia to Latin America, from Latin America to the world, cumbia is the queen, the mama who opens her arms to all. Born from the marriage between African drums and the indigenous flute, its soul is rebellious, playful, sensual… it has a million faces! Cumbia will heal your wounds and make you forget your sorrows. This show is a duet...but only if you resist the invitation to join this festive journey through the heritage of this musical genre and the cultures that have developed around it.
