1. What is folk dance in Colombia

Colombian dances. The multiculturalism that is found

throughout the territory of Colombia is also reflected in
its different rhythms and typical dances.

in the variety of its manifestations, to such an extent
that each of the different geographical regions of the
country has its own folkloric characteristics.

2. North Atlantic and Caribbean region

The most representative dance of this region is the

Mapalé, it is the name of a fish and the name of a drum.
Dance of marked African descent typical of the
Caribbean coast. It is said that this dance was born as
a song and dance of fishermen's work that was
performed, accompanied by drums, as entertainment at
night at the end of their day. When you observe her
today, everything indicates that she transformed from
work activity to erotic ecstasy. The way people dance
today differs from what is narrated by the chroniclers.

Dances such as the fandango, the Puya and the Porro

also stand out.

The most representative dance of this region is the

Joropo, which formerly meant a festive gathering to
play music, sing and dance. It comes from the
Colombian-Venezuelan Llanos. It is one of the folk
dances that presents typical Spanish survival and is
danced in all kinds of festive gatherings. From the
joropo all the current airs of llanero folklore depart.

4. Andean region

The most representative dance of this region is the

Torbellino, which is a dance where there is the
suggestion that the travel songs of some tribes, such as
those of the Yuco-motilón of the Serranía de Perijá,
contain rhythmic cells that could have given origin to
the rhythm of the whirlwind, which is nothing but the
measure of the "little Indian trot", which indigenous
people and mestizos use for their forays and trips,
pilgrimages and pilgrimages through the mountains.
With the melody the peasants express their feelings in
a simple way religious, their loves, and the description
of the landscape. Siin put aside dances such as the
bambuco and the sajuanero, with which a national
festival is celebrated in Neiva - Huila, in the month of
July.

5. Pacific region

The most representative dance of this region is the

Currulao, this rhythm has its greatest area of influence
in the Center and South of the Pacific Coast. The
Currulao made its entrance to Cartagena de Indias in
the seventeenth century, where it was referred to as
"Slave Dance", a definition that lasted for a long time.
However, today the Currulao is an exclusive tune and
dance of the Colombian Pacific Coast to the point of
being the base tune or typical dance of the area today,
that is, all of Chocó and the western half of the
departments of Valle, Cauca and Narino. All these
regions are influenced by primitive life from the nuclei of
the black population.

6. Amazon region

The most representative dance of this region is La

ÑUCA LLACTA (Kichwa indigenous dance): the origin
of this dance comes from the Kichwa indigenous
peoples that are found throughout the territory of Chile
to Colombia. The indigenous people consider all
cultural manifestations without borders, among others,
dance and song. The choreography of the dance was
provided to COLOMBIA VIVA by Luis Espinosa from
the band of Colombian indigenous musicians -
TAITACUNA. The same as the costumes was obtained
by him for the Group.
