Sincelejo, the capital of the department, is said to derive its name from Chief Cincel, one of the indigenous leaders of the area before the colonial period.
Today, The Queen and Lady of the Savanna serves as the main cultural and commercial hub of the region, while also acting as a central point for much of the department's livestock and agricultural activity.
Immortalized by its corralejas and traditional tunes, Sincelejo sings some of Colombia's finest rhythms.
