The Colombian Embassy in Ankara will commemorate the Battle of Boyaca by hosting a virtual concert on Thursday.
On Aug. 7, 1819, Colombia won its independence from Spain in the Battle of Boyaca.
The commemoration, originally scheduled for Aug. 7 by the Colombian Embassy, was “postponed in solidarity with the Turkish people,” the embassy said, referring to Turkey’s fight against then-ongoing forest fires and floods.
The Colombian music band Tribu Baharu’s virtual performance will take place at 5 p.m. local time (1400GMT).
Tribu Baharu is a band of Champeta Criolla — a music genre and dance that originated in the early 1980s in the country.
