Remembering and Traveling #5, "The Drug Trade and the Salsa Boom in Cali," Cali, 15.10.22

The fifth dialogue trip was about the role of music for the city of Cali, the "capital of salsa". We talked with music students, musicians and experts of Salsa about the representation of music in telenovelas and series. We explored the question of why salsa was so important to the Cali cartel. How did music reinforce power structures?  Among others, it was about the representations in the third season of Narcos, Pablo Escobar - El Patrón del Mal, En la Boca del Lobo and El Cartel de los Sapos: El origen.
