Delve into the lively Caribbean culture of Cartagena de Indias with this Champeta Music Tour. Learn about the origins of this musical style and move your feet to its rhythms!
Champeta Music Tour of Cartagena de Indias
At 10 am, we'll meet in Plaza de Camellón de los Mártires in the centre of Cartagena. From here, we'll head to the southern part of the city, where the liveliest rhythms and dances of the Colombian Caribbean await us.
One of the best ways to get to know a culture in depth is to listen to its traditional music, learn its most typical dances and explore its roots. In the case of Cartagena de Indias, champeta combines all of these factors, which you'll soon discover on this tour!
While we talk all about the culture and lifestyle of the locals of Cartagena, we'll also learn about the origins of champeta music and its importance in the city. We'll explore a neighbourhood in the south of Cartagena to see how the "picós", or sound systems, liven up the streets with the rhythms of this musical style.
During the champeta music tour of Cartagena, you'll have the opportunity to show your artistic skills and dance to the rhythm of the champeta following the guide's instructions. What better way to remember your trip than by learning some new dance moves?
