This miscellany of images of people and places in the Caribbean region of Colombia begins in the vast complex of wetlands and lagoons that comprise La Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta. The subjects here are the brightly and imaginatively painted palafitos or wooden houses on stilts of the fishing communities of Buena Vista and Nueva Valencia, and the welcoming dances of their warm and gracious inhabitants. There follow images of indigenous inhabitants of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta and the vast desert sanctuary of La Guajira—specifically adults and children of the Kogi, Arahuaco and Wayùu people. Kogi culture is particularly interesting not only for its distinctive style but for its profound ecological vision and commitment to the guardianship of nature. The concluding images focus on aspects of the love of music and dance that seems common to all of Colombia’s diverse peoples and cultures. First, the music of vallenato, songs accompanied by accordion. Vallenato is strongly identified with the area around Valledupar, where the making and playing of accordions and engaging in singing and accordion playing contests is central to the local culture. Finally, a dance troupe in old the bayou port town of Mompox—once a thriving city and now a sleepy but charming backwater.
