What is colombia's culture like?

Answer 1

Colombias culture is different in different geografical sections.  For example, the people of Bogota are called Rollos and the People of Medellin Are called Paisas While people of Barranquilla are cosidered Costenos. Like people from massachusetts and texas have different accents, rollos, paisas, and costenos have different accents.  Some of the foods are different Like near the coast seafood is popular in the country steak is popular in bogota ajiaco or a potato soup is the popular dish.  Now as for the music, althought salsa, vallenato and cumbia are popular throughout the country, Cali is more known for salsa whil medellin is more know for vallenato or cumbia.
