Salsa City Cali

Santiago de Cali is known in Colombia to be the "capital of Salsa". When Cali had it's big boom in the 60s a lot of indigenous, European and African descendants from the countryside came to the city. These new immigrants found a common identity through the new music style Salsa which originated in New York from Puero Rican and Cuban migrants. Since then Cali is living Salsa and many musicians and dancers emerged from there.
