We are two Afro-Latin PhDs taking an anti-racist approach to center the contribution of Black people and culture across Latin America, the Caribbean and their diasporas through dance and music.
Our work aims to:
- educate consumers of Afro-Latin and Afro-Caribbean culture on its Black roots
- highlight the work of Black artists, dancers, and scholars across the Americas
- develop a practice of anti-racism in the Afro-Latin dance scene 🇵🇷 🇨🇴

Were You Listening? Track 10: Herencia Africana [Remix] (English)
Hola Mix(ed)tape listeners! Today we'll be listening to Herencia Africana by Yuri Buenaventura. In this song Yuri seeks to highlight and pay homage to the African heritage in Colombia. Musically, the song has a playful transition back and forth between salsa and rumba guaguancó, the latter an insistent call, pulling us back, closer to the African and Afro-Latin roots of Latin American and Caribbean culture.

We hope this track helps to add value to your listening and awareness in your dancing!
