How Did I Not LEARN ABOUT THIS? | Black History| Palenque, Colombia: Cartagena

Описание: Palenque was founded by former enslaved Africans who escaped, lead by Benkos Bioho, making it the first "free town" for Africans in the Americas. In 1612 the Spanish signed a peace treaty with them, and they've conserved many of their African customs, language, and music, as seen in this video. It was an incredible experience visiting San Basilio de Palenque in Colombia and being deeply immersed in all the Black history. Is this your first time hearing of Palenque and would you visit?
