Spectators in the grandstands wait for the dance groups to pass by during the Batalla de Flores, the major parade of the Carnival in Barranquilla, Colombia, on February 10, 2024. The Carnival of Barranquilla is a colorful festivity that takes place every year on the Caribbean coast of Colombia. It is a vibrant fusion of ancient African tribal dances (brought to Colombia by enslaved Africans), combined with the traditions of the indigenous peoples of the Americas and European musical influences, which has been evolving since the end of the 19th century. Today, thousands of dancers and dance groups (comparsas), accompanied by musicians, sound systems, and decorated floats, march along the Vía 40, creating a magnificent spectacle that attracts over 1 million visitors from around the world each year, making it an authentic celebration of Colombian culture and cultural heritage.
