Panama has been a melting pot for several cultures. Originally, native indian groups created their acoustic instruments using parts of plants and shells of different animals, and later Spanish conquerors brought their influence from the Old World. The Afro-Caribbeans also contributed to it when they came for the Canal construction. These and other small groups gave birth to, what is today, one of the most attractive and folkloric heritages of Latin America.

The show is fully allegoric with traditional acoustic music and musicians. Dancers (including women wearing the unique "Pollera") exhibit hand made cotton dresses complemented by precious body and head jewelry. Men´s typical attire is relatively simple. However, their hats are finely hand-made by excellent artisans that spend weeks creating only one piece. Their cotton shirts boast golden or pearl bottoms. Just picture this fabulous show while tasting our excellent Panamanian cuisine.

Comfortable light casual clothes are suggested.
