Stories from the African Diaspora Part 1

Hi everybody,

Short post here. I’m announcing a new blog series called “Stories from the African Diaspora”. Why?

When people talk about black people in the new world, they don’t think that you can find Afro-descended people all over north and south america.

Well, You’re gonna read about them on my website. I feel that their stories, OUR STORIES, are just as important as anything I have to type about Capoeira. Because ultimately, Capoeira is an integral part of OUR story in the americas.

Now as you can see on the title below, our first story comes from Colombia.

This particular video is close to my heart, because I practice a Martial that was developed by black people in colombia.
