Ritmos Negros


Dec 25, 2022

In this episode, I speak with Patricia Morales Brost, a family medicine physician born in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia!

Did you know that Colombia’s Caribbean and Pacific coasts hold a very special connection to AFRICA?! According to 2022 World Population Review, Black Colombians represent a majority 60% of the population on the Colombian Caribbean coast (including Cartagena) and 90% on the Colombian Pacific Coast.

We cover Afro-Colombian Rhythms including Cumbia, Champeta, Mapalé and Currulao! Don’t worry if you’ve never heard of these because we we explain them all in this episode.  There is also an in-depth explanation of each Afro-Colombian music/dance style on the Ritmos Negros Instagram Page as well!
