Wow great video. Didn’t know that Cali had so much salsa or why they dance differently. I'm from New York. Glad you said it was one of the homes of salsa. Don’t know if you were aware but the salsa music that went international started because the NY Latin population played here trying to follow swing or big bands of the African Americans but they got booed off the stage because people felt the music sounded simple and country due to their instruments. They practiced playing instruments like the trumpet and trombone added it to the music and that went viral which spread all over New York and then the world. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. I’ll have to visit Cali. 👍

[@EatBailaTravel]

Yess NY was absolutely key to the rise of salsa! Thanks to the trial and error you mention here. So cool how that happened. We’re thankful for it because salsa is a big part of our lives! Thanks for watching one of our favorite videos ❤️😊

Soy de Cali, civil war nunca hubo en Cali. Si narcotráfico en los 80s y 90s pero no tuvo ni cerca el impacto violento que tuvo Medellin que literal PE le declaró la guerra al estado. Lo que sí hubo y hay es delicuencia mucho más que en Bogotá y Medellin en mi opinión. Glad you are showing the true spirit and vibes of Cali.

[@JohnFranciscoBolañosMoreno]

La razón era que el cártel de Medellín lo formó un desquisiado mental con hambre de riqueza, de poder y de ser idolatrado; mientras que el cártel de Cali hacía las cosas sin tanta opulencia ni con sed de poder. La violencia que desata Pablo Escobar es precisamente porque quizo acabar con los cárteles existentes en Colombia; al lograr su cometido, desata en Cali y en el norte del Valle, el mismo accionar del cártel de Medellín. Subsiguientemente, se esparce por toda Colombia con el apoyo de la guerrilla, los paramilitares y las bandas delincuenciales que trajeron desde Medellín y Envigado (la oficina del cártel de Medellín). Pablo Escobar y su cártel aún viven; él supuestamente muerto y el cártel fortalecido más que nunca con nuevo nombre, nuevas sedes y nuevo accionar con los mismos matices.

I saw your video about our gastronomy, yes, our food is so good, because in Cali, due to its proximity with Buenaventura Port in the pacific, we can enjoy sea food very fresh, so Cali has to offer not only the region food from the mountain region but the Pacific Cost too.

We are BACK! First time I ever heard of Cali was when I was REALLY little, and Marquette star Doc Rivers - yes, THAT Doc Rivers - played for Team USA in the World Basketball Championships which were held there. Looking at the salsa dancing, realizing just how BAD my best salsa skills were back in college, let alone NOW. Will need more than a refresher. SO much salsa infused into the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. Massive in the late 1970s. Heard you mentioning Chicago. Their new mayor just mentioned how Chicago is no longer one of the top 15 most dangerous cities in America. Those are some CRAZY stories she's sharing about getting through robberies.

It looks like El Mulato switched to Los Angeles style salsa at one point when he was dancing with you. Is that your salsa background? I know Caleña style salsa is not common at all in the USA. I would love to see more videos of people social dancing in Cali and other Colombian cities.

[@ThinLineMedia]

Cali style is good for shows, but it is too fast for big people. The people from Cali are like almost double less tall than I am. Also I don't understand how you can dance this for like 5 hours straight on a social. Even fast LA style is very hard to dance 4-5 hours straight. That is why I think a lot of modern Cali style dancers also dance all other styles so they can relax and also adjust to what other people can dance.

[@EatBailaTravel]

our salsa background is line style on 1, and the professional/highly skilled dancers in Cali are also versed in line style even though it's not their main style. It's super fun to be able to combine the styles within the same song, so creative!

No es cuestión de dar o no dar "papaya"; la cuestión es dejar de normalizar una problemática que se tiene que atacar y cortar de raíz. Claro es que no hay que estar escondiendo todo ni tampoco tomar justicia por mano propia, pues para eso está la fuerza pública; pero si esta brilla por su ausencia, es una forma de fortalecer a la delincuencia y el ciudadano de bien queda expuesto e impotente, lleno de miedo y a riesgo de que le quiten su integridad al no dejarse robar. *Nota: En Colombia no está bien visto el que manden al público a bañarse, porque le impone mala imagen a los ciudadanos o seguidores de su página. ¡ojo con eso!, pues les estás diciendo: "deja de ser cochino", lo que se puede catalogar como un juzgamiento sin fundamento y es cuestión personal o algo íntimo de cada persona.

@@EatBailaTravel , es correcto en lo que respecta a tu apreciación. Cali es la ciudad que más reduce los indíces de pobreza de personas que llegan en calidad de desplazados y, como cada día llegan en cantidades, las acciones de ayudas humanitarias y de oportunidades de empleo parecen interminables. Considero que es más valiosa la calidad humanitaria, que inmensos skylines, avenidas interminables para atraer la polución de automóviles y motocicletas. Prefiero una ciudad llena de bosques urbanos, parques y ríos..., que una ciudad sofocada por el calor y no tener ni árbol para refugiarse ni una brisa que refresca la ciudad gracias a los Farallones de Cali que capturan la brisa que llega del océano Pacífico.

Para todas las personas que lean el comentario de esta señorita que se hace llamar Genesis, sepan que su pasatiempo favorito es buscar TODOS LOS DIAS videos que hablen bien de Cali para copiar y pegar el mismo comentario, "Cali se ubicó en el puesto 32 con una tasa de homicidios de 42,09 por cada 100 mil habitantes" el cual es verdad. Pero tambien hay cosas malas en otras ciudades, como por ejemplo en Medellin es la ciudad donde mas extrangeros mueren por sobredosis, tambien es la ciudad considerada por muchos el prostibulo mas grande del mundo, donde puedes tener sexo con niñas de 10 años o menos y donde la gran cantidad de turismo se ve atraido por estos dos items, droga y sexo. Al igual que Medellin, Cali tambien tiene cosas bonitas para hacer turismo, cada una con cosas diferentes y vpor favor no le hagan caso a Genesis que le toco aprender a bailar regueton, ya que para aprender a bailar salsa se necesita un poco mas. Y para Genesis, deberias conseguirte un trabajo mas descente, donde puedas mantener la mente mas ocupada, o conseguirte un novi@ o ser mamá o rescatar perritos de la calle, y dejar de escuchar esa musica que produce tu tierra, eso es lo que te tiene asi, busque algo que te genere alegria y que haga desaparecer toda esa odio, vuelvase pentecostal, en fin... aqui muere de mi parte tu obsesivo y venenoso comentario).
