what's especial about the Colombian culture?

Answer 1

1. MUSIC
Colombia has its own distinctive, very lively, popular, dance music - cumbia and vallenato - with artistes including Lisandro Meza and Carlos Vives . However it has also adopted, as its own, other music styles like salsa and merengue, and so artistes like Fruko, Joe Arroyo, the Latin Brothers, la Sonora Dinamita and la Sonora Carruseles have made a huge impact on the Latin music scene.
Here is some further information on Colombian music, with clips and downloads....

2. CUISINE
Colombian food is noted for "sancocho" soups and stews, tamales and arepas in particular. Main meals will normally have one or more of: rice, cassava (yucca root), yam, plaintains. Beans - red kidney and black beans - also feature. Banana leaves are often used for wrapping food prior to cooking. See these websites for more details (the second, though in Spanish, has lots of photos of prepared dishes). http://www.answers.com/topic/colombian-cuisine

3. SPORT
Football is Colombia's top sport, with professional teams playing for most of the year . There were some pundits that believed that the Colombian national team would pull off some surprises in the 1994 World Cup, but it wasn't to be.

Answer 2

I guess you can look on-line about Colombian culture. I assume, as any other latin country, they can be very family oriented people, I know for sure their food it’s delicious (if you like latin food) I love their Spanish accent and women and men are good looking people. I really like their music (salsa, merengue, ballenato, cumbia) and they like to dance a lot. I’m not Colombian but I have some Colombian friends.

Answer 3

My friends who've emigrated to the states!

Answer 4
