Medellin's Most Controversial Celebration: Alborada 🇨🇴

[@tomreider9622]

Thanks Andres. I live in Medellin half the year and still have so much to see. You go into parts of Medellin that as an old white gringo I wouldn't be comfortable going to, especially at night. So I appreciate what you do.

[@MikesOnAPlane-bv7is]

Best Colombia vids dude your fluency in both languages provides such a great angle! Already looking on the calendar for next year to come for this night !

[@andresonearth]

[@josephherrera8489]

Awesome video and historical notes. Thanks! I enjoy the history, facts, trivia, and background of all your videos

Thanks Andres, very cool. I learn a lot about Colombia from your videos. Don’t worry about getting sidetracked with your friends, I would have done the same, haha.

Durante mis vacaciones me quedé en Bella y Girasoles. Conocí personas maravillosas y viví momentos inolvidables. Me sentí relajada y segura durante toda mi estadía.Pirana😃

[@kam_abroad]

Glad you posted it. This was a fun video. 10x better than the typical gringo video that doesn't go into any interesting neighbourhoods.

[@andresonearth]

[@edg84]

Your videos are the best real shots of Medellin on KZbin. Hopefully you'll get the following you deserve rather than people posting hipster nonsense from the rich areas and using prostitutes for views.

[@andresonearth]

Thank you bro 🙏🏼

[@raymundosantillan2246]

Fr bro i totally agree with this foo next I go to Medellin i trying to link

[@plejades]

[@pathfinder-eatingonearth1323]

Wow, fantastic perspective from Santo Domingo.

[@ajoecollazo]

I havent been back to medallo in almost 2 years . I have a house up the block from la estacion acevedo. It was nice seeing the neighborhood again

[@SHONUFF622]

Bro, I fucking love it!!! I’m coming Medellin we should link up

[@TRider09]

Beautiful holiday in Medellín good to know the history too. Btw which app to pick you up in the moto?

[@andresonearth]

Any of the transportation apps in Colombia have the option for moto. Didi, Indrive, Uber and picap

[@DiseasedKodak]

What song is that in the background parcero 0:31 ? Keep up the great vlogs man this was sick!! SO epic at the top watching all the fireworks bro!

[@andresonearth]

Thank you bro, that song is called Olvidala by Binomio de Oro

[@StefanRitchie-kh5nz]

[@BoatBoy909]

[@Regalman]

[@JOSEBRAVO-bv7zu]

What happened to the vid about the virgin? I was not able to fully watch it

[@andresonearth]

Its back up now bro

[@DondiniMontefusco]

Parcero where have you been?

[@absentmindstate]

🤝💯

[@OaktownJones]

Cool video, even if you got a little distracted. I heard that Alborada had something to do with Pablo Escobar's birthday. Do you know anything about that?

[@andresonearth]

I've heard that too, from the research I've done it has to do with the demobilization of the paramilitary group "Cacique Nutibara" in 2003.

[@DondiniMontefusco]

What’s the background history of La Alborada?

[@andresonearth]

I explained it in the beginning of the video bro

[@DondiniMontefusco]

@ bro, yes you did-I jumped the gun🙃

[@GeeGee19]

I dated a girl up in santo Domingo for 6 months i was uo there 3 nights a week hanging out. That is one unique neighborhood its definitely lawless the cops dont run thag neighborhood thats for sure. I was on the tippy top all the way up and I never had a problem. I had a great time hanging out up in santo Domingo. I miss Colombia cant wait to get back there. Life in the usa is kinda boring as fvck

[@andresonearth]

Yeah there’s is def a feeling of lawlessness in those barrios, the higher up u go the more u feel it. Life in US is boring for sure but it’s def a better place to make money and have more stability.

[@mikelowry5061]

Pareceee 🔥👌

[@JG638]

Pretty safe there bro ?

[@andresonearth]

Its safe, just don't wander deep into the hood at night if you don't know anyone...

[@JG638]

@@andresonearthgotcha. Thanks bro 👊🏼

[@d2armandg]

You made it through. Even as a local, I tend to avoid that area. Phew phew. Sos local?

[@andresonearth]

Parce pues mi familia es de acá pero yo me crié en New York

[@keithwhitehead3841]

its loud in Colombia!

[@andresonearth]

Just how I like it jaja

[@DJV94022]

Copyright? those are classics isnt to the point where if a song is 20 years old the copy rights doesnt exist?

[@andresonearth]

nah thats not true, anything after 1950 typically has a copyright of 70 or more years. Depends on the song and the author tho. Anyway I didn't want to risk it.

[@cgeddz]

what type of digital nomad work you do? SMMA, dropshipping, etc? guessing you work from the laptop.

[@andresonearth]

I do translations online

[@cgeddz]

fire good for you bro. working and traveling is the real flex. not the lambo in the driveway.

[@selfhelp321]

Some traditions should come to an end for the health of the valley. The air is contaminated enough without the added pollution from this event. Sure it looks cool and is a bit exciting; but is the hour or so of joy worth the damage that is being done to the air quality and the litter and contaminants that fall to the ground and cause further pollution ? I have an idea for a new tradition in the valley, instead of setting off fireworks for hours polluting the environment and disturbing the wildlife. Why not turn off all of the lights in the valley for an hour; no moto’s no driving; no music and experience silence and calm and maybe discover the true magic and nature of the valley; how the ancestors did in the past.

[@andresonearth]

Yeah, unfortunately its a tradition that has some negative effects, but I doubt its going to change anytime soon. It would be cool to turn off the lights jaja, but I think the bandidos would take advantage of the darkness.
