Vulindlela, the song that went famous overseas, specially here at Cartagena.

Cartagena is undoubtedly enriched by its Afro heritage, notably portrayed in the music. It is common for locals to hear a genre we call Champeta, regardless of whether the song is from another country, or even if it is in another language, Cartagena people are fond of these songs as you can hear them in every neighborhood at a Sunday morning.

Vulindlela can be loosely translated from the Zulu language as an instruction to “make way” “clear the way” or, if you prefer, “open the gates”. The song talks about making way for the groom (and the bride) at their wedding. In 1997, South Africa was emerging from the racist system of apartheid and was celebrating its own “wedding” behind the racial barriers following the democratic elections of 1994.
