Estampas Colombianas, one of the main music groups of Colombia’s Barranquilla Carnival—renowned for being the world’s second largest carnival after that of Rio de Janeiro­—arrives to celebrate the country’s national day in Hibiya Park, an immaculate patch of green in strikingly urban surroundings. Tokyo’s Colombia National Day has become a regular feature of the metropolis’ summer since it launched back in 2008. Performances by dance troupes and of course plenty of cuisine from the Latin American nation will also be on offer at this afternoon festival.
