Colombian Independence Festival
Grupo Niche is the iconic Colombian salsa orchestra. El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico and La India are Puerto Rican salsa legends.
Jesse Uribe, his wife Paola Jara, and Francy Montalvo are Colombian ranchera singers. Colombians and Mexicans get along really well. Both have vibrant rancho cultures, and strong business ties. Every birthday party in Colombian seems to have mariachi. The friendship goes both ways. Luis Carlos Meyer Castandet was the Colombian musician who brought Colombian cumbia to Mexico in the 1950s. Now Mexican cumbia is great music.
