AFRO COLOMBIA 1: The African Diaspora in Colombia PART 1

Here is Part 1 of our three-part series on Afro Colombia! In this video we look at a broad over-view of the history and culture of the African diaspora in Colombia.

Did you know that almost 27% of Colombians are Black and Afrodescendant. That's over a quarter of the country!
