Palenque

In the first place I would like to say how much I like both forms of art. It's very interesting to know these kinds of music and dance that represent the history and tradition of towns. Alegres Ambulancias and the Alvin Ailey Dance company show us ,using dance the Afro influence in the dance; they have similarities like the drums and some body movements because of their common ancestors. However, palenqueros dance was created by Africans living in Colombia, that's why it has elements of cumbia and cantadoras. In the other hand, the Alvin Ailey Company's dance was created for Africans living in North America, this is the principal reason of the differences between them.
