Tampa, Florida Voice Communication

Tampa is, without a doubt, one of the most famous cities in Florida due to a luxurious tropical climate and a unique cultural amalgamation. Tampa is not alone in the warmth of Florida. Miami, Orlando, Miami Beach, and Jacksonville are similarly attractive neighbors of the city of Tampa.

Tampa, Florida has a cultural heritage largely influenced by the neighboring tropical regions as well as South America. Florida as a whole, and Tampa especially, had a tumultuous beginning when Spanish explorers clashed with the natives. Original Tampa settlers came from the Bahamas in the 1800's after being drawn by tales of sunken treasure in the hectic waters of the Great Florida Reef. Every year the city of Tampa celebrates the Gasparilla Pirate Festival in true bacchanalian fashion.

Florida is now a hotspot for entertainment and culture, and Tampa is no exception. "Cocoon", Ron Howard's sci-fi masterpiece, was filmed on location in Tampa, Florida. "The Golden Girls", a celebrated genre-defying TV series, was based in Miami Beach, a neighbor of Tampa. Tampa also has been influenced by a diverse musical culture ranging from Cuban roots music to Miami natives, KC and the Sunshine Band who recorded the hit song "Shake Your Booty" at Miami based record label TK records.
