Do you want to dance Salsa so.....

Come To Cali fair "Para que vea"

Every Christmas the people of Cali can be found out in the sun, enjoying the rich festival programmed that makes up one of Colombia’s most renowned national events, the Cali Fair (or Feria de Cali). The city proudly boasts the title of salsa capital of Colombia, if not the world, and unlike most large Latin city fairs (like the Córdoba and Seville Fairs in Spain), which concentrate on livestock, this event is built around salsa parties and parades.
Salsa is not exclusively a Cuban phenomenon and Colombia has a well-established salsa scene - big names include
Joe Arroyo and Grupo Niche. Others such as Eddie Martínez have even crossed the great divide and managed to take the New York scene by storm.
Cali Fair’s programmed
features a wealth of some 50 or so salsa
bands, which can be seen performing day and night. Other events include a beauty pageant to select Señorita Cali, sports competitions,
salsa and tango contests, a variety of different parades
and bull fights. So why not spice up your Christmas with the heat and swing of a real Colombian rumba?
