Musician ( 1 / 5 )
------------------
Friends of TE, my warmest greetings.

For a variety of activities, which have prevented me availability of time to visit and update my photos and comment on those of my colleagues, I have this again.

I entrance to a series of five (5) shots, through which I want to provide a simple and affectionate tribute to one of our cities, located in a central point of our national geography: the city of Ibague, capital of Tolima Department .

This city is now known as the MUSICAL CAPITAL OF COLOMBIA, given that throughout its history, has been architect of major events related to this art, of which many love.

Speaking of music, I was unable to shelve remember my TE - Friend Jordi (TRUJA), which like many, we live passionately for all minors who are in the stage arts, and even more if he participates actively it.

Jordi, I hope you enjoy this series ...!

Speaking of Tolima is talking about music, tradition and taste, speak of Ibague is to enter the heart of the recipes typical of taste grandmothers, and the wizard of good food.

For example, a stroll by the river canyon is found Combeima front with the temptation made meal. It enjoy a beautiful valley guarded by their sides for a magical green cord. Over time the capital treasured cultural activity, which allows you to display folk, artistic and musical authentically.

The name of Tolima has its root in the history of the Indian princess Yulima, martyred and executed by the Spanish conquistadors. Before the conquest, the region was populated by various tribes belonging to the families and Quimbaya and Caribbean, the best known is the Pijao tribe, who resisted the Spanish domination.

Tolima means "land of ice" or "land of the gods" is a debate that still remains unresolved.

At the bottom of this shot, you can appreciate the Conservatory of Music Alberto Castilla, which dates back to 1,932
