Tuesday was the opening day of the 44th Vallenato Festival. At 2 pm the city gathered around Avenida Los Cortijos to watch the parade Desfile de Las Piloneras. 65 folklore groups presented the Baile de las Piloneras, a traditional dance from the valley of Upar (where the name of the capital of the district gained its name, Valledupar). The Pilon is a tool that the women used to crush corn and the Pilon song was the song they sang during their work. As time went by, it developed into a dance, and today it is one of the most typical elements of the vallenato culture.
