DVD of Panama folklore (Dance)?

Question

I am interested in a DVD of Panamenian Traditional dancing, where would I be more likely to find it? also if I could get a tip as to where to find Panamenian myths and legends books or DVDs or simple stories, I would be greatful.

Answer 1

Contact the Panamanian Embassy as they often have literature and videos advertising Panama.  Also, try to look in an area that has a large Panamanian immigrant population.

As a last resort, try Youtube.  You can find many videos there.

Best of luck.

Hi, for the DVD try the yahoo forums on Panama.  Search the archives, I remember one guy with a blog posting a couple of clips on the folk dancing on his site.  E-mail me and I'll ask around about a locally produced DVD.  We have a website and I'm developing a section on folklure.  I already have a few good stories with many more to come.  Here's the link http://panamaexpertos.com/forum/panama-f...

The guy that's writing the stories I'm putting up was born and raised in Chiriqui, Panama.  He's writing them and translating stories from his childhood so they are not lost.
