What means SALSA to me? (Part 2).

Let's continue!!!

Santiago de Cali, simply referred as Cali, is the city where I grew up located in western Colombia. This city is also the third largest city in the country and one of the fastest growing economies and infraestructure because its geographical location. but why am i talking about my city? it's just because since long time ago Cali is known as " The Salsa Capital" in latinamerica and I want you to know about this.


This City, -Cali-, is located near the sea and long time ago, the locals used this region's entrance for getting bussiness and all kind of new technology. Also, any kind of rythms came from there. Musicians, instruments and new sounds were a innovation for the entire people. Since then, folks began to listen musical styles like chacha and mambo and suddenly every single person started dancing and Cali became as a musical and dancing City. Year after year, Cali was entirely involved in this genre and musicians and dancers made their own style called: "Salsa Caleña".

Nowadays, Salsa moves million people in this city. Wherever you go in Cali, you're going to find something related with it. From south to North. East to West. Malls and parks. Houses and clubs.

There are more than a hundred dance schools which besides teach salsa to tourists, have been participating on all over the world and have gotten the recognition as great dancers. Little by little the world has been realizing that there is a new style of dancing and a city that is more than a Colombian City.

I think this is enough for today and I hope you like this about Cali and got interested on it.
