Los Sabores del Porro | Playing For Change | Live Outside

We traveled throughout the villages and cities of Colombia and along the way, we were introduced to some of the best musicians in the country. This nation with so much history and soul is represented perfectly by the music and spirit of Toto La Momposina and her band. We asked her to share a traditional Colombian song with us, and this version of "Los Sabores del Porro" performed beneath an ancient tree is the result.

Playing For Change (PFC) is a movement created to inspire and connect the world through music, born from the shared belief that music has the power to break down boundaries and overcome distances between people. The primary focus of PFC is to record and film musicians performing in their natural environments and combine their talents and cultural power in innovative videos called Songs Around The World. Creating these videos motivated PFC to form the Playing For Change Band—a tangible, traveling representation of its mission, featuring musicians met along their journey; and establish the Playing For Change Foundation—a separate 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to building music and art schools for children around the world. Through these efforts, Playing For Change aims to create hope and inspiration for the future of our planet.

Nací en Montería, la capital del departamento de Córdoba atravesada por las aguas del Sinú. El porro representa para muchos de nosotros y nosotras, la alegría y el holgorio del caribe sabanero; es parte de nuestra identidad y tradición cultural. Gracias a playing for change por mostrarle al mundo un poco de la tradición musical de ese pedacito del planeta.

The Porro is the artistic and musical demonstration of Colombia that identifies us as a Caribbean region different from the others. The Porro was born in Colombia, in its Caribean region and there is no melody in the world that resembles it. The porro is Colombian rock, the cumbia became international, but the porro remains original and authentic. It is our musical label above cumbia and vallenato.

And Toto is one of the greatest representatives of Colombian Caribbean culture to the world.
big she.

A mi me sabe a carimañola, a mote de queso, a bollo y yuca con suero, a sancocho de bocachico, a mi Costa Atlantica!

[lilleyracuello]

Solo falta escuchar una canción de esta, para sentirte orgullo de tu tierra que viva. Sincelejo flor de la sábana epicentro de la cultura y la ganadería

[josueama]

Sonidos de mi tierra, sonidos de mi patria.Sonidos desde Colombia.
!Colombia¡, I carry you in my heart, at the site of the world where I am.
"this is my land, the land that gave me life, that's the beauty of my nation, this is Colombia, which I carry in my heart."

[PlayingForChange]
