Cumbia on Klompen: RPR in Bogotá

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.

RPR in Bogotá

ADM (= Ay Dios Mio)!

We have had so much fun this weekend! Our Royal Pacific Friends arrived Thursday night to give us a short visit. You might have met them already, because we also went together on the Miami VIP trip, posted earlier on this website. The gringo´s were welcomed like celebrities on El Dorado Airport. After getting the 15 suitcases safely out of the hands of locals and in the car, the weekend could start! This weekend was filled with Santa- Fe& Coke, shopping, chiva´s, perro calientes (which resulted in food poisoning), rumba (yup, again!) and oh, some culture activities as well. Click here to see some of the pictures we took.

It was great to be able to spend some time together, and we hope to see everyone again soon! Keep an eye out for our next video, which will be posted next week;´Bizarre Foods with Ihab Kherati,!
