@hellalatina: Colombia 🇨🇴 is home to one of the largest Afro-descendant populations in Latin America. In the early 1600s near Cartagena, San Basilio de Palenque was founded by escaped enslaved Africans and became the first free Black town in the Americas. This community was built on resistance to Spanish colonial rule — and similar threads of resistance run throughout Latin America. Resistance lives on through music, language, and cultural memory. 🎙️ Full episode with @Black Latin History link in bio. #latina #colombian #colombia #firstgen #latinoamerica
Hi everyone, I’m the girl in the video 👋🏾. Clarifying the stat, my family is from Buenaventura y Cali #somospacifico. I said Colombia has one of the largest Black populations not the first lol. Also, Cali as a city is considered the second Blackest city in Latin America following Salvador, Brazil! Hope that clears up some of the confusion 💛

She’s right, I’m from Cartagena and the amount of people that don’t know we were the first CITY with free slaves in the Americas boggles my mind. I wish people would learn more about our Caribbean cities because we have so much African culture and it’s constantly overlooked😕. Love seeing a fellow costeña!!

Afro-Colombian here 🙋🏽♀️Yes, we exist in droves. Yes, there are plenty of us in Colombia. Yes, we also tend to blend in with other fellow Afro-Latinos. But just because we aren’t well represented outside of the country, does not mean we do not exist.
