About Us
Explore Colombia Through Music
At Colombia Music Tours, we believe music is the most powerful way to experience a country’s soul. Our team of passionate musicians and cultural travelers connects you with the heart of Colombia’s musical heritage.
Professional musicians and musicologists design our small-group tours. Consequently, we create authentic travel experiences that go beyond performances. Instead, you get personal encounters and hands-on workshops with the maestros. We built real relationships with Afro-Colombian musicians and communities. As a result, every journey is genuine and immersive.
You will discover Colombia through its most powerful language: music. For instance, explore the vibrant streets of Cali during the Petronio Álvarez Festival. You can also dance to champeta in Cartagena or learn traditional rhythms in San Basilio de Palenque. Our tours are carefully timed to coincide with major music events, giving you insider access to powerful cultural moments.
The Colombia Music Tours Story
Our journey began with a simple idea: connecting travelers with a destination’s authentic soul through its music. We had great success with our Havana Music Tours. This inspired us to expand. Because of its dynamic blend of indigenous, African, and European influences, Colombia was the natural next step.
At Colombia Music Tours, we invite you to experience the country’s unique musical heritage firsthand. We carefully craft our tours to immerse you in powerful traditions. These include the rhythms of the Petronio Álvarez Festival and Pacific Coast music. You can also delve into the deep traditions of San Basilio de Palenque and the musical fusion of Cartagena. Our mission is simple: to make music the highlight of your journey.
