First modification:
In this special culture program on France 24, we invite you to discover the Petronio Álvarez Pacific Music Festival, which every year in August transfers the landscapes of this Colombian region to the city of Cali. Fashion, gastronomy, music and crafts are the stars of this event that wants to show the world all the richness of this Afro-descendant culture.
During the 26th edition of the festival, we spoke with one of the most important figures of Pacific music on the international scene, the singer Nidia Góngora.
The luthier of the Katanga Foundation, Addo Possú, told us about the role that the marimba has in the culture of this Colombian region.
In addition, we also went to ask why the Petronio Álvarez festival chose Brazil as the first guest country in its history.
And the “best chef in the world”, Leonor Espinosa, explained to us all the peculiarities of the flavors that the cuisine of the Pacific carries.
