/Sounds like "klah" (as in "clap") + "BAHR" (as in "bar")/
To overcharge, rip off, or straight-up steal from someone by exploiting their trust. Getting clavado means you paid way too much, got scammed, or someone took advantage of you, and usually you didn't see it coming.
“Me clavaron cien pesos de más en el mercado.”
“They overcharged me a hundred pesos at the market.”
“Watch out for that mechanic, he'll rip you off if you don't know cars.”

Papayera
A popular brass wind band that animates festivals and street parades on the Colombian Caribbean coast. The papayera is the heartbeat of coastal celebrations, marching through the streets playing cumbia and making it impossible to stand still. No coastal festivity is complete without one.
