#barranquilla

La luz más fuerte siempre viene de adentro, pero el origen de mi energía es este ritmo. ¡Barranquilla imparable! 🌟

While driving home yesterday with my son we saw this on the road, and not gonna lie, I think I will be going there for lunch one of these days now, those bollos con chicharrón y suero look fantastic!

The Carnival of Barranquilla is a unique festivity which takes place every year during February or March on the Caribbean coast of Colombia. Cumbia, both music and dance, is considered to be the main essence of the Carnival. A colourful mixture of the ancient African tribal dances and the Spanish music influence – cumbia, porro, mapale, puya, congo among others – hit for five days nearly all central streets of Barranquilla, the capital of the Atlántico Department. Those traditions kept for centuries by Black African slaves have had the great impact on Colombian culture and Colombian society. In November 2003 the Carnival of Barranquilla was proclaimed as the Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.
