Las Alegres Ambulancias de Palenque

BandWorldFolk

Las Alegres Ambulancias are representative of the culture of Colombia’s Caribbean area; they are a living demonstration of how this 500-year-old African tradition is surviving in this globalized world.


The name Las Alegres Ambulancias explains the philosophy of the Blacks of Palenque in their relation with death. Happiness (alegres) is the vehicle (ambulancias) of change from one state of being to another ... life continues.
