Home World News Latest Articles Escape Hatch ... Endless Buzz Culture of Colombia A culture is expressed through the art, literature, music, and cuisine of the region. Diversity is characteristic to the culture of Colombia. The cultures of different countries influenced the culture of Colombia. To know more, read on� Owing to geography, Colombia contains five main natural regions namely, the Andes mountain ranges, the Caribbean Sea coastal region, the Pacific Ocean coastal region, the Llanos (plains) and the Amazon rain forest region. Colombia is located in the northwestern region of South America. This has led to a diversified Colombian culture. Moreover globalization and urbanization have changed the Colombian way of living. Spanish culture has highly influenced the culture of Colombia. It brought in Catholicism, the feudal encomienda system, the African slaves and the system that favored the European-born whites. The Blacks mingled with the indigenous people of Colombia, carnivals giving them an opportunity to do so. This mix created a blend of cultures. The banishment of slavery from the society, and the industrialization of the 20th century after the establishment of the Republic of Colombia were the positivities seen by the Colombian society. Art of Colombia The Colombian art ranges right from the sculptures and paintings of ancient times to the modern-day films, theatre and various other forms of art. Colombia has produced artists like Alejandro Obregon and Fernando Botero. Gold work, stonework and pottery constituted the pre-Colombian sculpture. The painting in Colombia was characterized by the pre-Columbian, the colonial, the Baroque and the Republican periods. Renaissance and medieval styles were the subjects of the paintings of the early colonial period. The Baroque period starting around 1600 AD bore the paintings featuring emotionalism, large gestures and populism. Mexican murals influenced the 20th century Colombian art. This period witnessed the world famous artists like Omar Rayo.

The Miami Herald September 30, 2001 Araujo, ex-Colombian culture minister, slain By JARED KOTLER Associated Press Writer BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) Former Culture Minister Consuelo Araujo, the wife of Colombia's inspector-general, has been found shot to death, six days after being kidnapped by leftist rebels, family members said Sunday. The body of the 62-year-old Araujo was found near the northern town of Valledupar. President Andres Pastrana called the family Saturday night to let them known the body had been discovered, said a family member who did not want to be identified for security reasons. The killing of the high-profile figure puts in jeopardy peace talks that President Andres Pastrana initiated three years ago with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC. While the talks have produced few results, the rebels have been accused of abuses including kidnappings, extortion, murder and drug trafficking. Araujo, a popular figure, was Pastrana's culture minister and the wife of Inspector-General Edgardo Mayo, who leads a watchdog branch in charge investigations of government officials.
