The origin of the Congos dates back to the times of the colony, when Europeans send to our continent the first groups of slaves from Africa. From that time the blacks began to combine their culture with that existing in the province. In this province, the Congos dances arose, where seduction and sensuality prevails between men and women.<\/p>\n\n\n
