. Music




• Entertainment
Music has traditionally been one of the cultural markers of Italian national and ethnic identity and holds an important position in society. The music of Italy ranges across a broad spectrum of opera and instrumental classical music, Instrumental and vocal classical music is an iconic part of Italian identity. Opera is integral to Italian musical culture, and has become a major segment of popular music. The music of India includes varieties of folk, popular, pop, and classical music. India's classical music tradition, including Carnatic music, remains fundamental to the lives of Indians today as sources of religious inspiration, cultural expression and pure entertainment.



Finally and specially Colombian music is an expression of the Colombian Culture, which contains diverse Music genres, traditional and moderns according with the features of each geographic region. The diversity in musical expressions found in Colombia can be seen as the result of a mixture of African, native Indigenous, European influences.

¨ Typical food

Food has always been one of the most representative parts of every country. As we all know we can use the same ingredients around the world, but typical food is always typical food. First of all we have Indian cuisine which is characterized by a wide variety of regional styles and sophisticated use of herbs and spices. The staple foods in the region are rice and wheat. Spices originally native to the Indian subcontinent are nowadays consumed world wide.

Besides, and traveling all the way down to Europe, basically, Italian cuisine is a combination of vegetables, grains, fruits, fish, cheeses and a scattering of meats usually seasoned or cooked with olive oil. Now we are seeing a resurgence of the Mediterranean diet is being touted as the model around which we should restructure our eating habits.

Finally in our country, typical food varies from region to region however some staples like rice, corn, potato, vegetables and fruit are used throughout in various ways according to tradition. Bread is also very popular as witnessed by the numerous bakeries in every city. In the malls, there is the typical variety of fast-food restaurants from local to Middle Eastern cuisine and even some popular American types such as Domino's Pizza.

¨ Spare Time
For people, culture and entertainment are the basis of their society. This is the basic reason for enjoying free time and for sharing good moments with others. For example, in Colombia people usually go to the movies, to restaurants and also they travel a lot, but in our country we also like our folkloric and typical holydays. In the other hand, we have Italy, a very developed country with a big quantity of cultural activities to do during their free time. Italians also go dancing, also go to restaurants and also travel a lot, but they have museums and tons of historical monuments that have changed people’s life and visions. Besides, there is another country, India, which has a totally different culture and way of living. Indians also go to the movies and like to go out to spend time with their beloved ones, but they have a very strong belief in religious holydays so this become in their most important and useful way of spending their spare time.
