Folkloric Night Show and Dinner
Lenght: 3 hours
Panama has been the melting pot for several cultures. Originally, the native indian groups created their acoustic instrument using parts of plants and shells of different animals, then the Spanish conquerors brought their influence from the Old World. The Afro-caribbeans also contributed on it, when they came for the Canal construction, and some other small groups gave birth to, what is today, one the most attractive and folkloric heritages of Latin America.
The show is fully allegoric with typical acoustic music and musicians. A group of dancers, where women wear the unique "Pollera", a hand made cotton dress complemented with precious body and head jewelry which is exhibited while they dance.
Men' typical attire is relatively simple. However, their hats are finely hand-made by excellent artisans that spend even weeks in only one piece. Their cotton shirts boast golden or pearl bottoms.
Just picture this fabulous show while tasting our excellent Panamanian cuisine.
Comfortable light casual clothes are suggested.
