Night of Afro, Son and Bolero or Black Night

One of the most recognized artistic and cultural events at the national level for showcasing the best of Colombia's musical heritage, this event takes place during the evening concert series of Medellin's Feria de las Flores, the City's most important festival. It is a series of thematic concerts in the Parque Cultural Nocturno (the Nocturnal Cultural Park), a name given to the area where the Feria de las Flores concert series resides, that take place from 6PM to midnight in the Parque de los Pies Descalzos (Barefoot Park) or Plaza Gardel (Gardel Plaza). This concert series is an excellent environment to embrace the music and joy of Medellin nightlife. Each night the stage is inhabited by a different musical rhythm, but without a doubt, among the most anticipated are Afro, Son and Bolero Night or Black Night, when the Park is full of energy and delights with the genres derived from the Afro culture and its derivatives in Colombia and worldwide. These are the nights when the drums, the congas, the bongoes, the marimbas, the bagpipes, the trumpets and the trombones resound, those beautiful instruments that not only make up Colombia's Cumbias and Currulaos, but also Salsa, Son and Bolero. They are magical nights, full of energy and flavor in the month of August, not-to-be-missed by music fans.
