Cumbia on Klompen: All you need is love...

Cumbia on Klompen???

Many Dutch people might not know what "Cumbia" is. And many Colombian people don't have a clue what "Klompen" means. Here finally the explaination!
For all the Dutch: Cumbia is a type of Latin-American dance music of Colombian origin, similar to salsa and using guitars, accordions, bass guitar, and percussion. For this dance, the man wear a hat as shown below.
For all the Colombians: "Klompen" (clog in English) is a typical Dutch foot wear. It's a type of shoe or sandal made predominantly out of wood. Nowadays, klompen (like the pair you see below) is just worn by farmers.

All you need is love...

Wow, it's been already 2 years since we posted our first video! The very first video was posted in december 2006, in which we showed how to decorate a christmas tree in Florida. It still makes me laugh! The following year we celebrated Christmas with the Van Bakels in Geldrop. This year will be very special as well; a Christmas with the Sampedro's in Colombia, and...we will be together after being apart for 4 months. Definately a Christmas to look forward too!

We wish our friends and family a happy Holidays, and hope it will be as special as our Christmas. Enjoy this years Christmas video...

Love, Hector & Ellen
