These are the details of the Guinness record that Delirio wants to break

Salsero if they call, I come! ”, This is how the beginning of the song ‘Abre que voy’ performed by Los Van Van sounds. That is why the Delirio Foundation has no doubts that, a respected salsa player, will respond to his call with the key, and will have the dance floor ready, to ‘make way’ from home and make Cali fulfill a dream in the middle of the pandemic.

What is sought is to break the record of ‘The largest number of videos of people dancing the same song uploaded to Facebook for an hour’, which will allow Cali to enter the Guinness World Records, a reference work published annually that contains a collection of world records, both in human achievement and in the natural world.

The Delirio Foundation will serve as a platform for the achievement of this great feat, with which they seek to anticipate the celebration of the 484 birthday of Cali and give him a gift that fits the soul of a city that is called the World Capital of Salsa and the dance.

Andrea Buenaventura, director of the Delirio Foundation, points out that “in Cali we feel proud to dance. It may be that the Covid-19 has taken away from us, for now, the possibility of going out to do it, but we have the rhythm inside and nobody can turn off the melodies of the heart. That is why the birthday of our city becomes the perfect occasion for us to overcome this difficult situation, making our city remain in the history books at the tip of what we know how to do better than anyone: dance. ”

To help achieve the goal, Delirio invites Caleños and Colombians, residing in or outside the country, to enter their Facebook account and search for the ‘In Cali they call us dance’ event. There they must click on the ‘I will attend’ button.

Then they must record a full-length video, where they dance to the song ‘Cali Pachanguero’ for 20 seconds.

Said video must be saved and the participants must have it ready to publish it on Facebook tomorrow, between 7:45 pm and 8:45 pm, accompanied by the hashtag or #calibailaencasa. With these simple steps users will already be helping to break the record.

In Cali They Call Us Dance

However, in addition to this mission, before, during and after the hour in which the videos should be mounted, Delirio prepared a perfect event for the occasion, so that attendees can continue to enjoy, dancing and singing in the virtual party ‘ In Cali They Call Us Dance ‘, which is expected to make history.

Those interested will be able to connect tomorrow night, June 28, starting at 7:00 pm

It will be a virtual meeting for the whole family and will include the participation of renowned salsa figures such as Viviana Vargas, first dancer of Delirio, world champion in Las Vegas 2005, director of the Stilo y Sabor school, winner of first place in the category Cabaret Elite of the past World of Cali Salsa and cultural manager.

The event will be able to participate dancing or simply as observers, but only those who dance will receive a virtual certificate of participation in the Guinness World Records of ‘The greatest number of videos of people dancing the same song uploaded to Facebook for one hour’.

The feeling of this party, through which the participants will seek to give Cali the best of birthday presents, is summed up in the words of Viviana Vargas, one of the hosts of the broadcast of the event and first dancer of Delirio: “in Cali we dance to feel alive, to stay together. Through dance we show who we are and where we come from. That festive spirit is part of the caleñidad and today it is necessary to reclaim the dance once again, to give it back its essence of social cohesiveness, of constructor of identities ”.

Delirium in data

Delirio’s collective is made up of 690 people, four salsa and one circus schools, an orchestra, 25 sponsors and 200 artists on stage, more than 600,000 spectators, 21 countries visited and a 23,000-square-meter cultural complex.
