Over 800,000 visitors are expected to attend this year’s event. They’ll enjoy its flagship events, such as the Battle of the Flowers, a parade of dazzling, creatively and meticulously designed floats along Via 40,<\/em> folklore groups, typical costumes and representative characters, such as King Momo and the Carnival Queen. The slogan ” En Barranquilla se baila as\u00ed<\/em> ” (In Barranquilla, we dance like this) – a tribute to Barranquilla native Shakira’s famous line from her song ‘Hips Don’t Lie’ – illustrates the diversity of rhythms danced in the city, reflecting how the carnival tradition is perpetuated from generation to generation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
