Barranquilla, Colombia – February 2024

Originating from the Caribbean coast, "Son de Negro" showcases the fusion of African, Indigenous, and Spanish cultural roots through their dynamic dance presentations. Their vibrant performances, characterized by rhythmic drumming, intense dance moves, facial expressions, and deep black body paint referencing African slave ancestry, are a staple of Colombian festivals, especially the Carnival of Barranquilla.
