Omg ! I am Jamaican and I am in awe of the people of this island. The language is so similar to us, the cultural aspect with the food , the Anancy stories, it’s so amazing.
Wapin Jamaican my grandfather was Jamaican but am 2nd generation Panamanian all black people from Panama post the year 2000 speak like that Panama and Colombia use to be one country and Panama got it's independence from Colombia we are the same people there roots come from Jamaica
it's COLOMBIA.
Claudia welcomme To Dominican républic / i love you....
Ananse stories are from West Africa Ghana 🇬🇭 though
Hav3 you ever heard of Belize?
Wow... they sound like a mix between Jamaican and Trini
Exactly. I'm Trini. I'm shocked I didn't know anything about English speaking. Colombians. I would love to visit San Andres.
They are Jamaicans descent.. ..I taught with one ..they don't have spanish last names
They speak the same creole belizeans speak.
Jamaicans settled San Andres from the 19 century. They are descendants of Jamaicans and Colombians that's why the accent also has a Spanish flavour like a Belezian accent
@@maxamillionfrontiers9768 I think it was more Nicaraguan then Columbians. Most of the blacks along thr mosquito cost came from Jamaica and also Saint Vincent you cannot forget about the garifunas of Central America.
FROM PUERTO RICO 🇵🇷
WE LOVE YOU COLOMBIA 🇨🇴
Big big up!
It's crazy watching this! These people are gorgeous not because of their beautiful melanin or their accent, but they KNOW their history. Look how effortlessly they tell you about the history and the culture. My goodness.
They are truly one with each other, is my impression of the people and their country. That's so cool to me.
@@willajackson8170 Exactly!!! I can only imagine where our people would be if we knew of our cultural history .
its COLOMBIA
Am Costa Rican born in the Caribbean side of the country, we also speak Spanish and English.
Colombian here, thank you so much for your video! I’ve been wanting to share this story about the San Andres y Providencia community with my friends because they don’t believe me when I say parts of Colombia also speak patois, English, Spanish, French and Portuguese. I understand why the lady in the beginning doesn’t conform to the “Colombian” identity and I’ve always felt sorry and second hand embarrassment (for my government) because of the amount of colonialization- for the lack of a better word- that this community has endured.
I can't believe how extremely similar the islands are to Latin America. I'm from Barbados and the people, buildings, streets, food...SAME!!! We ARE the same. UNITY is significant for our survival.
@@miasgardenadventures2998 Atlantis was more than the Caribbean Islands...They found one main settlement in southern Spain...And it dates back more than 10 thousand years...Atlantis was a huge Island in the middle of the Atlantic and they were also in north of Africa but they were very corrupt so those in northern Africa that did not want to be with the corrupt ones went to settle in Spain in the area called Doñana National Park...Those in North Africa created a nuclear and electromagnetic explosion that left northern Africa bare with no trees and no water...That is the Sahara Desert...This dry land with no trees and barely any life also extends to the rest of the middle east and Saudi Arabia, Yemen and other countries......You can see it in a map...The explosion was huge created by the misuse of powerful crystals...This created a huge tsunami that went into Spain and bury 60 kilometers of inland...Spain had people already 36,000 years ago...Their paintings in the Altamira caverns are proof...So Eurasians were here much before than any one in the islands...You just want to believe otherwise...and yes, WE ARE ALL ONE...but the whole world, not just the Americas...To say that you all in the islands and the Americas are one means you are bias against the rest of the world...So actually it shows you do not understand the meaning of: WE ARE ONE...
@@amparoalvarez9001 Atlantis was a world system with headquarters in America. I won't go any further explaining to the uninitiated.
@@miasgardenadventures2998 I know that not to be true...I won't discuss it any further either...It is futile doing so...
This is type of stuff we should have been learning in school
Exactly! I'm trying to learn more about the island myself bc my grandfather is a native of San Andres, Colombia.
To me this was one of your best videos yet. The old lady was a little standoffish at first but you charmed her with humility and won her over. By the time you left she was so soft and gentle with you. You are doing well and inspired me to go there and experience that place. Don't change your way with people and it's good you are bringing exposure to the African Diaspora there and in Palenque. Their stories go untold oftentimes. Good job
yeah but its COLOMBIA
@@ratan4976 what does that mean
I really need to spread this video in Jamaica honestly because they speak more like ud jamaican this is serious honestly I am amaze swear this is so special swear🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
If I closed my eyes and listened to the lady at the restaurant I would think it's a regular jamaican lady. Big up from Jamaica 🇯🇲🇯🇲
They were first taken from *Jamaica 🇯🇲* as slaves and later on, subsequent migration of *Jamaican* fishermen from the *Pedro Cay* in *Jamaica 🇯🇲* who's primary trade are Conch harvesting. To this day, there are direct relatives of people living on the south coast of *Jamaica 🇯🇲* mainly *Saint Elizabeth* and *Westmoreland* parishes who can trace their lineages to *San Andrea's Island 🏝 and vice versa.*
Very interesting, thank you for teaching me something new!
Wow. Interesting information 🇯🇲
Thank you for the information…I also thought Belizeans sound similar to Jamaicans..
Thanks for this video. I did not know of my cousins in San Andreas. They sounded like Jamaicans. The fried breadfruit looks delicious.
Ace Bruh! This St. Andres video IS AWESOME! I was HOOKED on the Raisen show. Probably my favorite of all. I want to visit mainland Colombia of course, but now I would want to visit the Island of St. Andres for sure. I really appreciate you showing us where you've been and how you connect with the locals. Keep doing what you do. The lady at the restaurant, I love black man, not clear man. I fell out laughing. And big ups to Katesha (excuse me if I misspell her name.), and the brother in blue. Big ups man!
lol she was awesome
Great video. Enjoyed meeting the people.
This is all most like limon 🇨🇷 Costa Rica
I am from Jamaica and its crazy to hear them speak, one of those ladies sound like my grandma
Mi feel di same way
In Belize we speak English, Spanish, and Cerole and other .
I'm from Trinidad & Tobago, nice seeing our cousins alive and well.

I'm a proud Panamanian and so is everyone in my Family including my grandmother from my Mom's side, but my great grand parents are from "San Andres" and I see were me and my Family get our English speaking accent from. Que Viva Panama 🇵🇦 y a todos los Afro-Latinos, un millon de gracias caballero "Ace."
same. my mother is from panama but her father’s family is originally from san andres
Me too? Pomares y Oz
So that means your great grandparents were from Nicaragua because San Andreas was from Nicland about 119 years ago oh yes it used to belongs to Nicaragua 🇳🇮 meaning you have African Nicaraguan Caribbean n maybe in English in your blood 🩸 if you have some light skin because the British brought the Africans in the 1700 hundreds during slavery era
to all the Caribbean islands that why most speak English. Greetings from South Florida
Colombia-Nicaragua relations entail the diplomatic relations between the Republic of Colombia and the Republic of Nicaragua. The relationship between the two Hispanic American countries has evolved amid conflicts over the San Andrés y Providencia Islands located in the Caribbean sea close to the Nicaraguan shoreline and the maritime boundaries covering 150,000 km2 that included the islands of San Andrés, Providencia and Santa Catalina and the banks of Roncador, Serrana, Serranilla and Quitasueño as well as the 82nd meridian west which Colombia claims as a border but which the International Court has sided with Nicaragua in disavowing.[1] The sea around the archipelago has been under Colombian control since 1931 when a treaty was signed during US occupation of Nicaragua,[2] giving Colombia control over the area.
There is a vibrant black community in many Latin American countries and most people in the Caribbean and North America are not aware of that. Family makes yourself known to the world. Thank you for sharing.
I think most people know that now. I don't think most are that ignorant anymore.
Wow! Black people are spread all over the world. All love from South Africa. Keep it up!
My mom is colombian and WOW i never knew they spoke English in San Andreas.
Cant wait to pay them a visit
Officially subscribed!!
Thanks for showing this i'm from Guyana and they sound just like Guyanese never know Columbia has my brother and sister speak English
Yes they sound Guyanese mixed with jamaican.
“Colombia “
not a blade a grass. Lol
@@Donnette_BistroLounge_owner ?
that's just a political message. Ignore it. Its Venezuela which has been wanting part of Guyana since Noah built the ark, always saying it's theirs. So, when you said that, it reminds me of them wanting part of Guyana for themselves. So I repeated a song sang by a Calpysonian in petition to Venezuela and their losing battle to get part of Guyana's land. But, glad you'd prefer Guyana though.
Now I will travel to this part of the world. It's a must.
I was born and raised in South America ... Guyana 🇬🇾 We have the juka tribe ... We have descendants from Ghana from slavery after 700 years they still speak the Ashanti language .. I am amazed how our African people are spread all over South America ..... I did not know that our people was spread out throughout the Spanish colonial continents ..... It is truly a learning experience thank you very much🥰🥰🥰
Absolutely not all of us
Brazil has the largest black population outside of Africa. Not just spanish.
We are in four corners of the earth... Wake up!
Am Bahamian and want to make an observation. The accent, language, patoi, dialect here is definitely more Jamaican. In the Bahamas, we don't roll our r's so much. I want to do more research on these lovely ppl. I have a friend from Bogota, Colombia who told me about these ppl before but she never told me about their language. Very interesting video! Now I'm much more interested in visiting this area. The British sure did a thing spreading and leaving ppl from Africa all over the world.
San Andrés and Providencia used to be part of Nicaragua. There were lots of British pirates in that area. Check the construction of the Panamá canal and you will find a very interesting story about how Colombia lost part of the their territory and they ended up with those islands. ;)
Yep our native language is an english-based creole and it's probably more Jamaican than bahamian but actually the closest to ours is found on belieze, the atlantic cost of Nicaragua and bocas del toro Panama.
My parents are from San andres big up yourself Ace ya done know it’s cool that you meet daner Dan Dan I listen to a couple of his songs
I'm amazed!! Wow. Did a lil research, when the British occupied they imported enslaved Black people from Jamaica. The British surrendered the island to Columbia, so that explains the Spanish. And like most English speaking Caribbean Islands, the enslaved people also developed their creole varieties depending on the island. Big up to my San Andres cousins!!🇯🇲
The British never surrendered any territory inn the Caribbean and that never happened, what happened the British leased some fields in the island for sugar cane plantation.
I´m colombian and I have to confess I didn´t know anything about the people from San Andres. Thank you so much for this amazing video Ace.
As a Colombian and Spanish Caribbean I never have been in San Andres but I love to go and meet people and culture there. People look so friendly and warm 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
The similarities,mannerism and speech patterns between the Raizal people and the Jamaican people is astonishing! I understood every word she said,it was like listening to my Aunt.Nice video Ace.
Very true…However not surprising to me. A tremendous amount of West Indians moved to Panama to work on the Panama Canal in the early 1900s, most of them stayed. I am almost certain some of those same people moved to Columbia which borders Panama. Also, Columbia, Venezuela, Panama are not that far from the lower Caribbean islands. .
I would swear these people were Jamaican their creole accent is similar to Jamaica’s 😱😱
Some of them are. Hundreds of thousands of Jamaicans were taken to San Andreas during slavery because Jamaica was the closest to Latin America. We could have family here and don't even know it 😉
@@Sincerelyshawny Spain colonized Jamaica before the English. It was our Maroons that was armed that fought the English when they wanted to take over. But the patois/creole/pidgin is spoken in western Africa. We use so many of the same words because the origins are originally African tribal with mixture of colonized languages.
I thought it was Jamaica when I first heard it
Literally scattered amongst all nations
Amazing how I immediately identify with them being an African perfectly understand the patio they speak we speak similar patio in the west African country Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 we also have breadfruit and breadnut same ssize but fruits how wonderful that our brothers and sisters that were taken from us didn't loss all of their cultural rights.
Some time when the owner of the restaurant speak she sound like a Jamaican the next time she sounds like a Panamanian or some other Caribbean island Jamaicans love their breadfruit roast and fry . Out of many people we are one
Yoooo as a trinidadian looking at this i understand when they speak perfectly....the "Creole" that they speak has hints of some jamaican and maybe vincentian in it....very cool video Ace!!!
Oh and older people love Jim Reeves in Trinidad & Tobago to.
I am hearing guyanese accent. This is crazy.
We hear the accent because we are Sephardic Jews..
They sound like a good amount of those within the Caribbean.
You are an EMMY AWARD level vlogger
This is a great video. I’m Jamaican 🇯🇲 and my sons mother is of Colombian heritage 🇨🇴 I’ve heard of this place but never knew it was truly like this. This video opened my eyes and makes me want to take a visit there. One Love ❤️
I want to come visit too, my grandfather is from San Andres, Colombia 🇨🇴.
Wos they sound like us jamaican wow
My mother is originally from San Andres Isla, Colombia. God rest her soul. I love San Andres Isla! 🌴
So you Mother’s parents 100 plus years ago were Nicaraguan Afro Nicaraguan Caribbean people because San Andres belongs to Nicaraguan 100+ years ago. RIP your sweet Mother, much blessings
@@ivyjensen5454 Mosquitos was part of La Gran Colombia. San Andres has been Colombian territory since 1800
Wow our people are really everywhere frfr
Finally 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 A black person doing these type of vlogs‼️‼️ 🔥🔥🔥
I don't have any other way to say this, so here goes. The elderly lady looks just like my grandmother on my father's side. I just couldn't stop looking at her!
My dad and uncle were from San Andres 🇵🇦
You have visited my home town in San Andres. Its not raizen. Its RAIZAL .. Know you are meeting the true people of San Andres.. These are my people.
I LOVE MY PEOPLE WE EVERYWHERE BABY ‼️💜
I just heard the lady in the restaurant say she listens to Lucky Dube.....wow all the way from South Africa.....so awesome
Lucky Dube is listened to all over the world king. One of the greatest reggae musicians of all time
Hey bro, thanks for exalting Colombian culture. My next vacation will be San Andres, thousand likes.
Sounds great!
I love my country is beautiful 🇨🇴
listennnnn as a Jamaican hearing her speak floored me, they sound just like us, the mannerisms, the language.... wow, just wow!!!
Yes
if u look it up u will see that back in the days thats where jamaicans went to settle as it is directly south of Jamaica
Me too. I love seeing this. I started reading the comment before the video. A lot of people wrote they sound Jamaicans.
I was like I need to hear this for myself. Smh crazy .
@@cha8101 yep. They are Jamaicans
I love that you've explore into South America to find the Creoles there. I'm listening to them, and they sound like my Belizean people, Bluefield Nicaraguan, Roatan Honduras, Colon Panama, Puerto Limon Costa Rica Creoles. You might need to make trips to these places. They say everything in this video exactly how we would in Belize, Central America, and other coastal of Central America.
really Awesome, those places are on the list
That's right I'm from Coxen Hole, Roatan (Honduras) and we speak the same way
big up all my African ppl of those places!
Bluefields man right here 😀
What about Bahia, Brazil? Bahians are all black African people too!
Hello
Wow I just can't believe that San Andreas is Columbia you would have definitely thought it was one of the islands.
The people are beautiful. They sound do so much like those from Jamaica and other islands that we are used to hearing. It's amazing😁. I love it.
Beautiful black people. I'm mesmerized. I guess you were fascinated with their culture too and we can hear it in your voice. They're extremely articulated
Amo san Andrés , soy de la colombia continental y ya he ido 2 veces , es un lugar mágico , mas que todo en los meses mas cálidos , LOS AMO HERMANOS SAN ANDRESANOS
The San Andres population is a snapshot of diversity, culture, joy and hospitality. With rapt eyes and all the senses infused with magic, any tourist will testify to the beauty of the people of the islands.
I'm just loving them. The owner STRESSED several times I'm not Colombian which cracked me up. I looooove the owner Lydia switching on and off speaking English and Spanish. They sound Jamaican. I would like to visit there and EAT( mi comida favorita es la española) I visited Honduras and just LOVED seeing people like me speaking Spanish. I was blown away and proud. I would love to go back there too.
🇬🇾 I'm from Guyana SOUTH AMERICA, there creole SOUNDS similar to us ,we share boarders with Venezuela, Brazil and Surinam but English is our national language and we relate more to the Caribbean VYBES 🇬🇾
I agree but mi tink seh it sound more Jamaican
Thanks I appreciate your work, especially introducing the African diaspora. 🖖🏿
Really sound Jamaican Caribbean people we are all one ❤️💙🙏🏾
I so love this video it held my attention from the beginning to the end. One love coming from Montego Bay 🇯🇲
The place looks clean, no bottles, plastic in the water on the beaches like America, wow. Love it
Omg I’m Jamaican born and raised living in the states and these ppl speaks just like us Jamaicans back home
Ist small jamaica 🇯🇲, so beautiful ❤️ Colombia. I love this channel
Those people our brothers and sisters 🇯🇲🇯🇲
Homie... This is one of your BEST videos! As a Jamaican, I had to do a double take when I heard the accents. The people seemed friendly & inviting. Gotta add this place to the bucket list bro.
Ace! Much respect. You just dropped a cultural bombshell. Thank you for exposing Afro-Caribbean culture in San Andres, Colombia. This is epic and educational.
Interesting, we have a similar culture in the Bay islands off the coast of Honduras, we were a former colony of Britain and then these islands were ceded to Honduras by the British, the native language of the Bay islands is a form of creole English even our food is similar to the food of San Andres island. The best known island of the Bay islands is Roatan.
Roatan Guanaja Utila. But even our mainland coastline has that caribbean feel. With the unique Garifuna culture too
32:54 he said nature people like me 👌perfect way to explain the culture. We are brown like soil of the earth because we are earth's children. NATURE PEOPLE
I hung out in San Andres back in 1972. Crazy times.
Wonderful what you do, Ace. Throughout your stay in Colombia, you have compiled information about our people, culture, ancestral anthropology and specifically about Afro-Colombian people, very very valuable. Each day you surprise me more.
What a great journalistic document you are compiling, bro.
thanks for watching respect
This was so educational for me as a jamaican i can't believe wat i just watch. Ace u definitely that guy bro true king in rare form i truly believe that bro. Ur doing such a great job it just leaves me speechless but wit a alot of questions. I wanted hear them speak creole it sounded so much like how we speak in Jamaica. Great job bro shouts out to u bro. God bless u coming from jahmar of Hartford Connecticut
I wonder the same. Is it the same ?
@@monicatausch7479 yes it is the same from the example he gave but i wanted to hear more to really verify it is
Jay Will as a Colombian I can confirm they speak Jamaican English , they are only 20-30 minutes fly of Jamaica 🇯🇲
Lying in my bed in New Jersey watching this video. I have found this video very interesting, l would love to visit this place and most interesting, I'm Jamaican and these people speak just like Jamaican.
Beautiful place and people, they love jamaicans
Thank you for showing this beautiful people to the world. I was born and raised in San Andres Island. love the video and how you connected with its people.
yeah and that's COLOMBIA
Thank you for educating us on this Island. Their accent and culture reminds me of the people from Colon, Panama.
Yep they sounds like people fr colon Panama for real i am from Jamaica and my great grandma was from Panama.i 💘 her may she R.I.P. thanx for sharing 😅💝
My cousin, he lived here practically the majority of his life though he was born in Panama and educated in Columbia. I met a guy here in Alabama from Columbia and he spoke so lively about the island. My cousin lives in Miami now.
Stumbled across your video as I was falling down a Caribbean culture rabbit hole lol.. this is exactly what I was looking for, to see and hear more directly from the natives. It's crazy to me how the Europeans literally colonized the whole world, and now these communities like these survive primarily off of tourism. I saw you mention you shared a birthday with Bob Marley so Happy Birthday and Thanks for sharing your experience..
Jennifer from Tulsa Oklahoma
yeah mostly british colonised 3/4 of the world from taking africans from their motherland n introducing them to different worlds n many more
i alwayz do feel for my fellow africans bcs if there was a race tht gone thru alot is africans;imagn the horrors tht they went thru from 14th cen being handcuffed legs n foot by big chains then bundled into a rickety ship no vents no toilets many if not millions died in that passage n the ones who made it by greeted by brutality n harsh climate diff from what they used to i really feel for our forefathers it was soo sad n painful torment
Excelent leaning experience. The people of San Andres, Colombia are very happy with the simple things of life. No violence were observed. Most of the people expressed unity, one love and one life. It appears the government don't do anything for these great and simple people. No racism was observed. The entrepreneurial and capitalistic spirit are part of the natural fabric of the community. Antonio Ward, Miami, Florida.
Boy, my family are from Guyana; they’re very similar. Shows that we are all one people.
Great video brotha. I like what you are doing with the channel.
Glad you enjoy it!
This tuber goes from high to higher. MAXIMUM RESPECT BREDDA, FROM JAMAICA....
I’m from Belize 🇧🇿 and OMG we speak the same creole here
Ya dis cool. I wa go de and mek some video.
The 2 months in Colombia this time was so wonderful ace. Alot of people will not understand being with the culture is a different experience then the tourist path.
your so right
My brother go to Sierra Leone you will meet a lot of kereo is the official language and English when they free the slaves in England they come to Sierra Leone west Africa those people go to the wrong island but they are our brother and sister
They sound just like Jamaican 🇯🇲 , we brothers and sisters
you need to go to colon panama, puerto limon in costa rica, the bay island in honduras , livingston guatemala.. they are all english speaking brothers with a strong caribbean influence…
Bay Islanders ( punta Gorda) are Black indians called Garifuna
Wow I’ve been to San Andres so many times and I absolutely love it. The black people on the island who mostly live up the hill, are the perfect mix of Caribbean and Hispanic culture. San Andres is owned by Colombia but they’re very close to Jamaica. They speak patois and Spanish because Spanish is the language taught in school
Wow!
I didn't know that.
Very Interesting and Educational. 🌴
Damn...ace always finding hidden gems
glad you enjoyed it more gems is on the way
You cant tell me that lady in the pink didn't come straight from Jamaica. Even the breadfruit and fried plantains, lol. That's just us.
Thanks so much Ace you are doing a great job, going to different places finding afro peoples. I have
Learned so much. Love my culture more and more. African people are so resistant strong people. I am Afro-Carribean born in Jamaica, raised in America. Keep up the good work my brother. God bless you!!!
We here in Belize talk the same creole english
I love breadfruit. Can’t believe you haven’t had breadfruit.
Wow Remind me of my Panamanian family.. the accent is the same omg... we are Black Panamanian.. wow love this video
Good afternoon am hear listening to your show am from Jamaica and I enjoy every moment of it. I never know that there was an island in Colombia that speak patois like Jamaican .One love.
The education and history about the people of the island is very much appreciated! I found the stories fascinating and it provided a perspective on how the people live and thrive. Definitely worth the time watching.
Can’t wait to return to San andres. You should not stay at the expensive hotels but rather live like locals, such experience. I recommend coco’s place
It is so interesting how African Americans in USA are so very different from all other black folks around the world. We have no connection to any other group except America. All other black groups always relate to Jamaica, the other Carribean Islands and Africa. Although they too were slaves, they never lost their culture. Black African American culture is truly North American (indigenous). Although the brother doing the interview was born and raised in USA, he is still Haitian, because of his parents. You can still identify him as not being a black American. Non- American Blacks really stand out no matter how long they have lived in USA.
This is a very interesting video... to learn about blacks in places we have never heard of. These people were brought to St.Andres from Jamaica long ago. See the connection?
Not true, although you’ve been taught that you are not connected to Afro people from other parts of the Americans, it wasn’t true. We are the same people and we have a lot of culture in common.
@@jadesiress3382 it has not been taught. It is an observation on my part and an experience. I have traveled all over the world around other black groups and I do not see or feel the connection. Although I love these brothers and sisters and we always have a great time, partying, eating, dancing, there is still a divide. I always notice how the Carribeans and Africans are drawn to each other and always share similarities. This never happens with the African Americans....there is definitely a divide...but not intensional. The heart strings are different.
The slaves (kidnapped victims) that were taken to 'The New World'-USA were the ones that had been 'broken in/reprogrammed. Those that were still rebellious were assassinated. This is probably the reason why African Americans are more distant from there original roots/people and display or feel a greater disconnect compared to others that are kidnapped/colonised descendants. An Ancestry dna trace can heal that disconnect. Our phrase should also state ' If you don't know where you come from you don't know who you are connected to'
Do you guys feel a connection with the Gullah geechee from the carolinas? What are the relations between those people also being black American like yourself?
I love these people. So beautiful and beaming with pride. I got to visit one day.❤️❤️
