Cali completisimo
CALI - La sucursal del cielo.
A city that has tourist attractions with history, a very active cultural life and musical rhythms that have made it famous throughout the world.
The musical rhythms of Cali range from the currulao of the Pacific coast to the great protagonist of the city: salsa, a contagious and frenetic rhythm that is part of the country's culture. For this reason, Cali is distinguished in Colombia as the 'Capital of Rumba' and, in the world, as the 'Capital of Salsa', because the street party and the dance are characteristic.
