From November 18, the city of Valledupar develops the Futsal World Cup, an important and inedited event that congregates 12 delegations in competition and many others visitors.
“Valledupar” is an ancestor name that means the “Cacique Upar valley”, the name comes from the geographical place where the city is built, the valley of the “Cesar” River, which runs between the “Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta” (the snowy mountain closer to the sea in the world) and the mountains know as “Serrania de Perijá” (national reserve with different and exuberant bio diversity) to empty into the “Magdalena” River. The other part of the name is “Eupari”, name of the cacique of the “Chimila” ethnic group (Valledupar and other places around the city have a special and different ethnic and cultural origin existing before the modern civilizations).
The “Eupari” city, capital of the “Cesar” Department, concentrate one of the most diverse and important cultural, artistic, musical and creative wealth in Colombia. From the musical perspective, the region is the source of an unique gender that combines European, African and indigenous instruments. Effectively, accordion, drum and “guacharaca”, come together with poetic and experiential compositions interpreted whit magical and contagious voices and inspiration about the nature, personal histories and the best love´s stories.
