The study of folklore in the social context allows to know the expressions, mores and traditions.
The folklore dance is the frist example
"The African heritage of the body in movement met with the expresions of dance from europe and the indigenous, each one of them gave several elements to create some afrocolombian, mulatto and zamba daces. It's richness is shown at sacred festivals and at the carnival parties of the coast. They accomplish to show the love, the work, the games, the rituals, the animals, the war and the history." (Ministry of national education - Movement and rhythm)
This region has more African traditions because in the Colombian pacific some slaves lived between 1700 and 1900.
Bunde, Currulao, Abozado and Juga are the most representative dances. These dances talk about dead, live, gods, slavery and games.
Pasillo Antioqueño
In this Region are too many dances because the andean region is more influenced by european men, black men and indigenous.
This dance is an example of european influence.
Porro and Fandango
The Caribbean region has a strong relation with the indigenous. Their musical instruments and their traditions still exists in much people.
This dance is called Porro, it's a lover's dance.
Joropo
This dance is an insignia in that region. This dance is the llaneros representative dance.
Colombia has very few people that talk about folklore, but Octavio Marulanda in his book "the folklore in Colombia practice of cultural identity" wrote about all the country, he traveled allover Colombia and learned about the culture, the traditions, the mores, etc.
field of study
I'm studied Folklore for ten years but in my career I'm learn other things
scenic arts
Social Media
This career helps me to publish folkloric dance events
A few radio programs talk about folklor, Javeriana Estereo and some other AM programs, although it'll be great to create another program that increases more the cultural diversity
In this career I learn about the right management of the body, the history of the classic dance and about the theatrical corporal expression.
