EN CIRCULO – chocquibtown

ChocQuibTown mixes the mostly-rural Afro Colombian music of the Pacific coast with urban rhythms from the US and the Caribbean. This is the music of the younger urban Black population of Colombia.

Almost one third of the population of Colombia is Afro descendant, but somehow they have not been included in that country’s national identity as people and culture. Although the influences of Black Colombians are obvious in every aspect of the South American country, many Colombians ignore their black compatriots contributions because of many reasons, including racism and segregation.
