Salsa Colombiana

Über Salsa Colombiana

Colombia's take on salsa, centered on Cali, which calls itself the world capital of the genre. Pioneers like Fruko y sus Tesos built a hard-hitting local sound in the 1970s, Joe Arroyo fused it with Caribbean and African rhythms, and Grupo Niche wrote anthems that defined the city. Cali's fast, dancer-focused style became a distinct branch of the wider salsa tradition.
