Celebrating Afro- Colombian Culture- Festival de Musica del Pacifico

Cali was bouncing with joy yesterday with teh 8th Pacific Region Music Festival, in honor of Petronio Alvarez. This event was a refreshing touch for Cali, since the mayor required that it be free this year so that more Calenos could attend.
The festival was booming with food, drinks, dancing, singing and music. A fashion show and a huge concert included. But the most important aspect of yesterday´s events was seeing people of all races and colors and histories coming together to celebrate the west coast of Colombia.
