Salsa in Colombia dates back to the mid-twentieth century, when Cuban rhythms crossed the Caribbean and reached Cali. Going deep into the roots of this city, little by little, since the 1958 Cali Fair, the city began to develop its own label, but it was in the 1970s when the salsa boom began in Cali, everyone was infected and 'azotando baldosa' in every corner of the city. Since the 70s and 80s, Cali began to identify itself in the world through salsa.
