Palenque: Africa in Colombia | TRAVEL VLOG
There are very few places where forced assimilation of language, religion, and customs have not affected the lives of the descendants of African slaves today. Palenque is one of those few gems where you can still see Africa shine through every part of life. From the music to the religion, you really see Africa in South America.
I had the opportunity to do a tour with Experience Real Cartagena. This company, founded by Alex Rocha, is the best company to use if you want to look into Afro-Colombian culture. I had gone on one of his tours of Cartagena before and it was fantastic! This trip to Palenque did not disappoint either. If you go to Cartagena, you MUST hit up Alex Rocha. experiencerealcartagena.com/

Am from Nigeria and it's so fascinating seeing how Afro Colombians still preserve the African culture, the dance is not different from the dance I see in cross river state Nigeria. When I look at Afro Colombians closely I see a different features from we west Africans which suggests they must have been mixed along the line. Mucho amor desde tu hermano negro desde Nigeria.

Actually most of them have alot of ancestry & culture from Kongo Kingdom (the Bakongo tribe), and some other ethnic groups in Angola, Congo & Gabon. Even the language Palenquero is spoken there, a creole mixed with Kikongo and Spanish mainly, with small influences from other languages/dialects. Their cultural dance as well shares similarity with the Bakongo traditional dances.
I love this video, afrocolombians have gone through so much, I'm glad the outside world has begun to notice our people.

Our people are truly amazing with all that we’ve been through and continue to go through we are still here that’s why it is extremely important to keep and preserve our African blood line I love to see videos like this even though our people were shipped to the four corners of the earth it is amazing how we were able to keep our customs if this video didn’t have a title you would think this was filmed in Africa much love and respect to all my Africans and African diaspora world wide I loved the part that said if you don’t look like this you cannot stay here that was powerful!!!!!!

Espero que no se pierda la Esencia de la Tradición Heredada por sus ancestros. La transmisión de la Cultura, Tradiciones y Costumbres debe ser de Generación en Generación y pienso que se logra, Orientando a los niños, niñas y jóvenes a mantener vivo el Legado Afro, difundiendo la Esencia de las Costumbres. Así no se perderá su rica Cultura Afro Palenquera.

I love these people, segregation is the only solution for the preservation of our life. No sense in living with people who hate you and want to hurt you and your Children. I hope our African American and Afro Caribbean people do the same. Its time to give white people what they want. A world to themselves.
Lovely lovely I am so in love with this place, it reminds me of home in Africa.
