LOOK!! I FOUND A VIDEO OF A DANCE THAT MY OLD HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER TRIED TO MAKE US LEARN!! (Did we learn it? No! Did we have fun? HELL YEAH!)

This is an afrocolombian folcloric dance that is also known and danced in Ecuador ^^ it's difficult as hell to make it right, but when the dancers do it right it's beautiful to see! I wanted to share it because it brought me many good memories of dance classes during high school :3

La Piscina Vacía Session: Vol. 10 - La Morena del Chicamocha

some traditional afrocolombian music stylings called Bullerengue and Chalupa performed by La Morena del Chicamocha and composed stemming from her experience as a trans poc in Colombia. unfortunately there are no english subtitles but it's such a beautiful performance, definitely worth a watch.

Viche Son de Caña

Review by: The Auditor Review #1166; Rum #481 Here we have a bottling of Viche from Colombia. Viche is the sugar cane spirit distilled by Afrocolombian communities in the Colombian Pacific coast. This bottling was produced by maestro vichero Diego González.  Diego González is a 3rd generation maestro vichero in Chocó, the state with the largest Afrocolombian population. After selling locally…

"...having dispatched a dinner of veal, with cassava, yams, and fried bananas, and a case and a half of champagne in addition, Aureliano Segundo was sure of victory." (Marquez 255) Estimado/a: On our last night we went to La Frontera, a Mexican restaurant for dinner. It was here that we all shared a meal and reflected on our time in Santa Marta together. Although it was customary for us to eat together on most occasions, this time was special. Not only was it our final night but everyone ate together including Professor Adriano. We cracked jokes, ate until we were stuffed and truly wished the merriments as well as our time together would never end. This atmosphere I believe is what Ursula hoped to inspire in the Buendía house when she renovated the house and made sure the windows and doors were always open to welcome guests to eat with the family at the long table. Iced wine, a Canadian specialty was shared courtesy of Ashley and Nelly. Meanwhile, Diego Soledad shared with us viche, an AfroColombian drink similar to that of moonshine. It felt as though we were tapping into Aureliano Segundo’s tendencies of opulence and decadence as he indulged in throwing lavish parties and eating gluttonously. Marquez writes, “Since Aureliano Segundo had taken charge of the house those festivities were a common thing, even when there was no motive as proper as the birth of a Pope.” (189)

Five kids aged 14 to 16 years old were found dead in the poor neighborhood of Llano Verde, in Cali, Colombia, this past Tuesday (August 11th). It is suspected that the kids were murdered because they refused to be recruited into gangs. The massacre has caused a lot of sadness in the Afro-Colombian community and beyond. Another horrible act of violence occurred yesterday (August 13th), during the funeral service that was held in honor of the victims, a grenade exploded and left one dead and 15 injured. All of this happened in a neighborhood populated mostly by families that arrived recently to Cali from rural parts of the country that they had to escape because of the armed conflict. After being displaced by violence from their territories, forced to leave under the threats of paramilitary groups, they arrived to the city only to live in neighborhoods where they are exposed to more poverty and violence...  But do Black Lives Matter outside of the US?  Please say their names...  Juan Manuel Montaño, 15 years old. Jean Paul Perlaza, 15 years old. Leyder Cardenas, 15 years old. Alvaro Jose Caicedo, 14 years old. Jair Andres Cortez, 14 years old.

💙🇨🇴🎨 #ArtIsAWeapon #MiamiArtWeek2019 As I strolled through @scopeartshow, I was instantly drawn to this gorgeous painting by multidisciplinary #artist @saivargas (swipe ⬅️). As I got closer, I felt so connected to her, and I just happened to be wearing a blue dress and headwrap that day. Simon told me that he created this striking series of oil paintings entitled "Mujeres de Providencia," to honor and capture the beauty of Afro-Caribbean women from the #Colombian island of #Providencia. Thank you for being so gracious, Simon.
