Tiny Desk Meets AFROPUNK: ChocQuibTown

I guess Colombian media doesn't show this. I'm sure many of us came to Tiny Desk because we are overseas. So let's we make it viral. Colombians abroad are so proud of our culture.

[@primitiverevival1914]

And the sad thing is that Colombians in Colombia think Europe and the US are better!

This group already is huge - check out their KZbin channel. 💃 The original Pa’ Olvidarte official video has 54 million views, while the remix video has 114 million. Also they have won 3 Latin Grammy awards, as well as 4 Premios Nuestra Tierra and 3 Premios Shock in Colombia. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I don't speak Spanish but I've loved ChocQuibTown for years ever since I heard their song 'condoto; The African diaspora is vibrant!

[@dianapoveda3343]

In the Caribbean part o Latinamerica we have the afrolatinos and the culture and the music very well known. Salsa, merengue, rumba, cha cha cha, mambo etc. Mostly Cuba, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Colombia Panama and Venezuela. Down South, Mexico, and Central America, they also know these rythms and like them. In Spain they have a fusion called rumba.flamenca. Of course the distance sometimes dont let us know every single song or.music, but we all have I think a good idea of each Latinamerican country. Now with the internet, it is easier for the rest of the world to learn about it and apprecciate, as there is a great.variety of rythms and music form all of Latinamerica.

Not crazy bro. Spain and England brought Africans as slaves which created that influence in many countries from America(continent)

[@11220h]

@@alv_dh yes, Africa is the roots. From Salsa music to Rumba, it all started in Africa. Africa has given the whole world its culture.

[@alv_dh]

@@11220h totally agree!

[@ingridmolina2173]

is much more than just inspired... it´s a direct genetic line from Africa as the others have commented

[@__JH_]

@@11220h With all due respect, African music alone is like unseasoned food. Latin American music is the complete steak with its own seasoning and seasoning from around the world. Many Afrocentrists want to take credit for our music and culture without knowing that Latin America is culturally mixed.
