Interested in Cali, Colombia?
Our Mission
There's no doubt that Cali is one of our favorite cities to host groups. Since 2018 we've worked together with local artists and community leaders to help bring visibility to the Black/ Afro descendant community.
Why Cali?
Cali is the third largest city in Colombia and has the largest population of Black/ Afro descendant people in the country. Cali, along the surrounding towns offers a mix of rich culture brought to the region from the Pacific Coast. From Viche (the ancestral beverage) and the sounds of the marimba and the rhythm of currulao to the martial art of Esgrima de Machete y Bordon. Cali is also known as the Salsa Capital of the world. There's never a dull moment with Live Be Do in Cali.
