Some people call Colombia “South America's gateway to the world”, while some call it the “coffee capital of the world”. However, it’s the unique vitality of Colombian music that has given the country the name it’s proudest of: “the land of a thousand rhythms”.

Colombia’s colourful carnival culture originates from the harvest celebrations of its various indigenous tribes, with historical events such as colonisation and nation-building giving rise to an array of ethnically diverse elements. Mr Luís Orozco, Consul General of Colombia in Hong Kong and Macau, will take us on a cultural journey of his homeland, starting with its festive foods and music. Meanwhile, our presenter Chris will take him to the southernmost part of our city, Po Toi Island, known as the “Antartica of Hong Kong”, to participate in the traditional Po Toi Jiao Festival celebrated by the local fisherfolk.

We will also introduce viewers to Ingrid, an accessories designer who has been living in Hong Kong for many years. Through her works, she showcases traditional Colombian craftsmanship and her compatriots’ passion for life not only to Hongkongers but people from around the world.
