With 50 years of history and 190 ports visited in 77 countries, the ARC Gloria, Colombia’s Flagship, a symbol of liberty and ambassador of Colombian culture in all ports of the world, began its 2019 journey. Its first destination was Boston, United States on June 23.
For 133 days the iconic ship will sail the seas to the rhythm of musical instruments of Colombia. Also, it will surround the visitors with the energy vibes of traditional Colombian music and modern rhythms such as reggaeton.
Sea waves move with the Colombian rhythm
In addition to the 2019 journey, the ARC Gloria will be the perfect stage for Colombian and foreigners visiting any of the 14 ports where it will arrive, to enjoy an amazing musical experience.
The cadets on board will teach how to dance popular rhythms of the andean region such as bambuco, the llanera music like joropo, tropical rhythms like cumbia, champeta, reggaeton, salsa and vallenato, as well as currulao from the pacific region.
