Latin America is a melting pot of cultures, roots, and traditions. African heritage has left an indelible mark on our music, gastronomy, language, and identity. From the rhythms of Cuban son, Colombian cumbia, and Venezuelan drums to words like palenque, marimba, and quilombo, they are a fundamental pillar of our identity. Honoring our roots means recognizing the diversity that makes us strong and celebrating the history of resilience and creativity that has shaped our nations. We cannot talk about Hispanic culture without acknowledging the immense African legacy that defines us!
