Update: I notice there are people that are coming into this video expecting to see dark skin curly hair people after all we are being conditioned to think one particular way but not realizing the Fate of so many enslaved Africans throughout South America many of them intermingled with the indigenous people and some cases became high priests or shamans for those tribes this is also discuss in this video throughout my travels through South and Central America I am constantly exposed to this evidence and many of those times I have come across people who are unaware of their true heritage for many particular reasons one of them is because of survival either way that does not negate or change people's heritage regardless of how you may feel which is mostly based ofThe Society that you were brought up so I would ask you if you do watch this video open up your mind in think do these people have an ancestor who was an enslaved African and the answer for many of the people in this video would be yes. in fact in many cases which is also shown in this video you will see that many of these people have grandparents who are as black as your grandparents or so before you come on this video to complain about why you don't see someone black or if they don't have any African heritage please try to use some logic because many of you guys are showing me how ignorant you are in the comments section and I'm not here for that especially when you see so many who are openly celebrating their african heritage.
@@ACEDTVL you’re opening my eyes to the truth about black culture in South America, and a lot blacks in the states don’t know about the African history in between Mexico, Central America, Caribbean and South America, I feel like we close minded about our culture in states too long, not enough RUclipsrs like you pushing the truth out there.
@ACEDTVL This erasure of melanin is shocking in this video. I know that after WWII, the Nazis fled to Latin American countries and pursued "neutrality." The war criminals included Mengele, Priebke, Roschmann, Schwammberger, Kutschmann, and Gestapo Colonel Adolf Eichmann. With the exception of Brazil, all Latin countries pursued neutrality, which includes the erasure of dark melanin. The gentleman towards the end told his family's direct lineage fleeing for their lives into a new life of slavery... fascinating. The first documentary I watched was about Afro-Argentinians. Black is not used in that country, and I noticed that on your documentary also. The artifacts of the stolen and tortured enslaved African are heartbreaking. Please continue to share. Safe travels ACE 🙏🏾💖
Greetings Ace, I love this Kind of Content. I think this is your TURE Calling, to highlight Afro Culture Around the World. Bringing Us All together, as One People..Thank you Very Much...Bless
@@pal1969 Yes Ace really shines when he uses his platform to document the historical past of people around the world. I particularly love when he explores cultural roots by visiting museums, interviews people who are willing to share their personal archives and photos and talk about their life and the lives and memories of their ancestors. This is so interesting and really fulfills a desire I have had since childhood of knowing about the history and life of the beautiful people and cultures all over the world. Love it! Everyone thanks all for sharing!
Que bello reportage, soy Hondureña Afro Latina me identifico con esta historia. Somos fuertes, somos únicos y debemos de estar orgullosos de lo bella que es ser Afro Dependiente.
Simply fantastic. African blood is stirring this renaissance. I invite them to Nigeria in Africa to meet real Africans , see and learn traditional dances.
Looks like they got their own Fusion of the mix with their dances, as would be expected, heavy influence with salsa and merengue seen, with African components
Love this bro never knew anything about my homeland till you’re videos bro, I left as a kid at 7 years old back in 1989 , I can’t tell you this pride of have knowing what I know through these vids!! Thank you 🙏🏼
Amazing, Ace !❤ One of the reasons I would feel so " encantado" to visit Chile. Arica is therefore the place to be. They are not darker than I am but watching these people celebrating their African ancestry is a blessing ! Muchas gracias !
WOWWWW…Be still my heart and soul…My sisters and brothers in Chile 🇨🇱…I see you, I feel you…Blessings to you from Jah of the most high…Mama Africa, your children are everywhere…I rejoice in their survival…
Phenomenal work, Ace! Not just for this latest work but for all of the previous videos that you have filmed throughout South America. As an Afro-descendant myself, I always knew that wherever a Spaniard or Portuguese landed and set up shop (althought they were not the only ones involved in slavery during the period between the 1500's through the late 1800's), Africans slaves were also carried, imported and bred. Over the years, history has proven me right. As a young kid I did some research about the African slave trade in Chile. According to what I found, around 500 Africans were taken to Chile. Shortly after their arrival the slave practice was discontinued. A quantity that small can easily fade away over as short as 150 years. People die, mix with the inhabitants of the area, during that time mainly the mestizos and indigenous people (the Aymara and the Quechua). African influence can be heard and felt in Aymara music. I do not know if many would have gone southward to mingle with the Mapuche. In either case, the genes, sporadic characteristics, some not so obvious, would be passed on to the general population without an Afro-related consciousness in most cases without an Afro-descendant consciousness to ignite it. Be it as it may, you can't wipe out the spirit. On the other hand, duing my 69 years, I have been able to sense an akin connection to people from different Latin American countries. Then, find out that they were Afro-descendant, and most of them had very few, if any detectable physical characteristics. So yes, I could sense that they are members of the African diaspara. Ultimately, if you get people in a place or venue, put food, drink, music and dance in the mix, you will find all types of commonalities that you have with people. Just think! You never know who you might be related to! Thank you for your hard work, Ace!
I truly love history and ours, especially . I appreciate you going places so many of us are una le to go and provide us with the visual. All praises 🙌🏾
I really appreciate these documentary style videos. I've been subscribed since 2020 during the lockdown and still watch. I rarely comment but your videos are great. I keep watching because you are a genuine kind hearted soul who accept people where they are, and don't try to judge or place your ideas on them. Wishing you continued success on your channel/journey.
Thank you Ace for enlighten me of our black brothers and sisters in Chile. I am in Europe watching your RUclips .Thanks for always trying to showing us in a positive way and respecting the views of others .Thank you for the important questions you asked the dancing groups . Great RUclips .
This is so educational. So glad they celebrate their African heritage. Wherever We Go, There We Is!💜. I missed some of this. I wonder what it’s like to live in this community? Cost of living? Housing, healthcare, food, etc.
Bozal - The term “Negro Bozal” refers to recently arrived African slaves who spoke a pidgin form of Spanish known as “macuá” or “bozal.” The word “bozal” literally means “muzzle,” reflecting the perception that these slaves were incapable of speaking Spanish. They were distinguished from “negros ladinos,” who were cultivated or latinized Blacks, having spent more than a year in a Spanish-speaking territory12. In contemporary Cuba, “Bozal” characterizes the voices of African deities and spirits during folk religious ceremonies3. Although Bozal Spanish as a language is extinct, its influence persists in cultural practices and music. For instance, some Cuban folk rituals today involve speaking what they call “Bozal,” and afro genre songs contain lyrics reminiscent of the language1. Great vid bro !
@@sidvicious647exactly the first slave markets was in Spain , Seville and Lisbon these people had been leaving in Spain for some time they went by multiple names Ladinos, Marranos , Moriscos , Sephardi etc they was exiled from Spain to the Americas

Hello Ace When you had the accident in the snow, I was the one who reported the incident on the news channel. Today, you were in the news again, since a group of Brazilian tourists suffered a rollover in the same vehicle in which you had the accident
J'ai récemment découvert ta chaine, je trouve que ce que tu fais est incroyable. Merci pour ton travaille d'éveil des consciences. je n'ai pas encore vu toutes tes vidéos mais si tu n'a pas encore était en Martinique il faut absolument que tu ailles à la rencontre des gens là-bas et des Antilles Française en général.
Fantastic documentation and reporting of history and culture. This made my soul so happy, to know our brothers and sisters in Chile are keeping the culture and traditions alive. Excellent job Leon!
I absolutely love this content. Who knew? Your videos are educational and informative. We are so blessed to have you.This one is being shared like so many others.
The term "black bozal" was used to describe enslaved Africans who were captured in Africa and brought to Spanish America without familiarity with Iberian cultures and languages. The term "bozal" can also be used as an adjective to mean "stupid" or "simple". In contrast, "black ladino" was used to describe Hispanicized Africans who had spent time in Spain and were exiled to Spanish America. "Ladinos" could be free or enslaved, and performed a variety of jobs, including domestic work, artisan work, and lower-status economic jobs.
The terms black bozal and black Ladinos is a modern addition to historical records the Ladinos were indigenous to Iberian Peninsula they make up the group Ibero-Maurusians ( Berbers / Moors even though dark skinned and spoke Spanish like you said but was a separate group of the bozal these are Negroes of the Niger delta Guinea and Congo types, the rest of your statement is correct
An exceptional content of historical importance. Thank you very much in educating us of our Afro Ancestry in Chile. I am from South Africa and i can relate to my Afro Ancestry in Chile.
Muchas gracias por tu video, los chilenos lamentablemente desconocen su componente de origen africano, algunos piensan que solo en el norte existieron, pero la verdad es que la mayoria de las haciendas coloniales del centro-sur se mancharon con sangre negra en sus siembras y cosechas. Haciendas de Quillota, Colchagua, Chillan y Talcahuano supieron convivir con familias negras y está todo documentado en la historia, otra cosa es que los chilenos no la quieran leer y aceptar. Saludos desde Chile a tod@s mis herman@s afrodescendientes, en Arica luchan por mantener su raíz, que acá en el centro ya parece perdida totalmente, salvo San Fernando que hasta la actualidad se celebra la Pascua y Carnaval de Negros en el sector de Roma y Los Lingues.
I also have enjoyed the beauty and rhythm of the dancers, so beautiful and well done. The joy, pride and spirit of the dancers and the musicians is just so infectious it transcends the video. I am there… beautifully done. Thanking all of the participants in Chile for sharing part of their culture with us thru Ave Live!!!🎉
Ace…as a born and raised in Chile. I never, ever saw a person of color until somewhat recent… we thought our natives were black, furthermore, many small town in middle of nowhere experiense likewise…for example my grandparents never ever saw a black person, my parents only later in life…Chile abolished slavery in 1823…only a decade after our independence!
@@rohan-qd6py person of color generally means a person who is clearly of non-European descent AKA not white. Many Chileans (I’d say around 50% but it changes by location) do not look white and are, obviously, of largely Indigenous descent. Glad that this video highlights the historic Black populations in northern Chile since most Chileans live in the center.
@@stephenborundaI know what you mean, but in Chile and other parts of latinoamerica "person of color" is sometimes used to refer to black people especifically. Today the term is less used than before, especially because it usually carries the implication that you are avoiding saying "black"
@@Luisfour oh, I was entirely in English mode! Thanks for the clarification as I agree that Black and Afro-descendent are now far more common to say in Chilean Spanish based on my experiences with my family, friends, etc.
Me llama la atención cómo el linaje africano siempre es celebrado. Las personas afrodescendientes parecen encontrar mucho orgullo en sus raíces. Me parece genial que exista una búsqueda de las costumbres que marcaron su pueblo. Y que creen comunidad entre ellos. Soy chilena y espero visitar Arica algún día
Thanks Ace for you bravery to ask those difficult questions I loved” you could pass why claim to be African !” that’s Fire!!!! I’m planning a trip to Chile for February thank you for bringing these festivals to my attention!!!! ❤ love you keep up this good and necessary work!
This and the related subject matter videos you produce are so incredibly important and informative. I wish everyone would "like" these so the governing algorithm would push it out for wider distribution. There's a saying, "When the student is ready, the teacher appears." Thank you for giving these dignified, well-informed people a voice through your platform to share their history, connective tissue of the African diaspora and its relevance to their social conditions of today. With each video, you are helping to lift the veil of ignorance of so many(including myself). Well done.
Ace thank you so much for sharing your valuable videos about the Afrocentric people of Chile🤎🖤💚💛❤🧔🏾♂🌍🌎🌏. I also love your interaction with the people as well totally a plus!!🖤💜💚💛❤💯💯.May God continue to bless you and your family Ace..
I see why Ace doesn't go to Africa he means he can just show the Diapora from Latin America.I laughed when he got that reality check from that Afro Brazilian tour guide about racism in Brazil the way he popped his big eyes hilarious.Do better Ace we want this channel to hit a million subs peace brother !
Ace it is wonderful to hear and see Afro Chilean descendants share and acknowledge their African heritage. African dancing most of the time is all about storytelling. The wax artifacts in the museum are amazing.
Blessings! Great video! Love our Chilean heritage! Were you able to visit Peru and see their large beautiful Afro-Peruvian culture, which connects with the north of Chili as well?
They do look mostly indigenous but that’s okay. Let them be proud of their African ancestors there is nothing wrong with that. It’s still apart of them. They hear the drums in their heart and to me that is beautiful ❤.
Great work on this video! Hoping the Chilean news does a story on this video too! Unfortunately, many Chileans are deeply uninformed about Afro-descendants in their country in both past and present due to systemic racism in the government and society more broadly. Many people are even unaware that San Martín’s army that famously crossed the Andes to free Chile from Spanish rule was primarily composed of Black soldiers. Important stuff to learn in this video!

I'm really surprised and encouraged by the way people in these Latina countries are outgoing and open to strangers, again, I'm very encouraged to see how they're happy to rediscover their African heritage with so much pride, all I can say is wish them much success
In Chile, black slavery remained for nearly three centuries, from 1536 to 1823, although in the colonial productive apparatus as a whole, it was a secondary labour relationship. During that time, it was never imposed as the main labour regime, as it coexisted with others of greater weight, such as the assignment on horseback or on foot, tenancy, peonage, and Indigenous slavery, among others. The first contingents of slaves arrived in Chile as part of the Spanish armies of Diego de Almagro and Pedro de Valdivia. The role of the African descendants during the discovery and conquest was that of domestic servants and soldiers. However, from the end of the 16th century, the decline of the Indigenous population at a time when the economy was turning towards the export of livestock products produced a severe labour crisis that was partly remedied by the importation of black slaves from Africa. What, in the beginning, was a transfer of servants became a lucrative commercial activity, a labour supply market that extended the slave trade to our territory. July 24, 1823, was a historic date for Chile, as it was the first American country and the second in the world to decree absolute freedom from slavery,
well... Arica is part of Chile since about 140 years, and as this region became chilean most of the black people migrated to Peru, since they still recognized themselves as peruvians. Thus it is no surprise that afro-arican music sounds a lot like afro-peruvian music, and it is also no surprise that a population change did take place. The important thing to know is that until 1876 most of the inhabitants of this region had always been afrodescendants. Then came the war with Chile and many many immigrants from Central Chile migrated to the newly acquired territory. That explains somehow the phenotypes you see now there. They might not look very "black", but they really are. Apart from this very peculiar case of northern Chile, where a neo-ethnogenesis is being constructed, if one would really want to know something about the colonial and early republican afro-chileans, then the right thing to do would be to study what happened further south (see Afrocoquimbo), sometimes far further south (see Concepcion, and even in Patagonia their traces can be found). Piece by piece some evidence is coming to light in these regions too. Too bad that most people just accept what "is offered as afrochilean" limiting themselves to the evidence of the far north, a place that stricto senso did not participate in the formation of chilean culture "since the beginning"... If some new definitions and methodologies should be defined, another approach and another result would emerge. As a specialist in afrolatinamerican history and culture I would rather support that venue. BUT in any case this does not invalidate the effort people like Oro Negro have done, quite on the contrary! (I remember when about 50 years ago I proposed the recognition and research of this overlooked part of Arica`s history, most of my academic colleages just smiled, looked at each other, and then laughed)

Fantastic documentation and reporting of history and culture. This made my soul so happy, to know our brothers and sisters in Chile are keeping the culture and traditions alive. Excellent job Leon!
The quality of the video editing is exceptionally impressive!
That culture reminds me of Puerto Rican vibes. WOW! So dope! I would have never known it was in Arica, Chile!
i love your content bro, thanks for showing my country and my culture always in such a respectful and genuine way. un abrazo!
Dope video Ace. Keep bringing the history
So well done, Ace, you are a filmmaker. Awesome !!!
I absolutely love this content. Who knew? Your videos are educational and informative. We are so blessed to have you.This one is being shared like so many others.
Our beautiful brotherd and sisters sending you Love from Zambia 🇿🇲 ❤️
Good work ACE. I am so grateful for this video. I appreciate the dance team. Thank you Thank you Thank you. 😀
The term "black bozal" was used to describe enslaved Africans who were captured in Africa and brought to Spanish America without familiarity with Iberian cultures and languages. The term "bozal" can also be used as an adjective to mean "stupid" or "simple". In contrast, "black ladino" was used to describe Hispanicized Africans who had spent time in Spain and were exiled to Spanish America. "Ladinos" could be free or enslaved, and performed a variety of jobs, including domestic work, artisan work, and lower-status economic jobs.
The terms black bozal and black Ladinos is a modern addition to historical records the Ladinos were indigenous to Iberian Peninsula they make up the group Ibero-Maurusians ( Berbers / Moors even though dark skinned and spoke Spanish like you said but was a separate group of the bozal these are Negroes of the Niger delta Guinea and Congo types, the rest of your statement is correct
An exceptional content of historical importance. Thank you very much in educating us of our Afro Ancestry in Chile. I am from South Africa and i can relate to my Afro Ancestry in Chile.
You must be what it was so-called coloreds I guess , and I can imagine why you can relate to them as afrodecent
Muchas gracias por tu video, los chilenos lamentablemente desconocen su componente de origen africano, algunos piensan que solo en el norte existieron, pero la verdad es que la mayoria de las haciendas coloniales del centro-sur se mancharon con sangre negra en sus siembras y cosechas. Haciendas de Quillota, Colchagua, Chillan y Talcahuano supieron convivir con familias negras y está todo documentado en la historia, otra cosa es que los chilenos no la quieran leer y aceptar. Saludos desde Chile a tod@s mis herman@s afrodescendientes, en Arica luchan por mantener su raíz, que acá en el centro ya parece perdida totalmente, salvo San Fernando que hasta la actualidad se celebra la Pascua y Carnaval de Negros en el sector de Roma y Los Lingues.
Ace my brother, this was beautiful to watch.
I truly love this video and all the ones similar to this one.
Thanks for sharing Ace! I love when you do these documentary videos, so much to see with Chileans of African decent! 😎✌
I also have enjoyed the beauty and rhythm of the dancers, so beautiful and well done. The joy, pride and spirit of the dancers and the musicians is just so infectious it transcends the video. I am there… beautifully done. Thanking all of the participants in Chile for sharing part of their culture with us thru Ave Live!!!🎉
Ace…as a born and raised in Chile. I never, ever saw a person of color until somewhat recent… we thought our natives were black, furthermore, many small town in middle of nowhere experiense likewise…for example my grandparents never ever saw a black person, my parents only later in life…Chile abolished slavery in 1823…only a decade after our independence!
@@rohan-qd6py person of color generally means a person who is clearly of non-European descent AKA not white. Many Chileans (I’d say around 50% but it changes by location) do not look white and are, obviously, of largely Indigenous descent. Glad that this video highlights the historic Black populations in northern Chile since most Chileans live in the center.
@@stephenborundaI know what you mean, but in Chile and other parts of latinoamerica "person of color" is sometimes used to refer to black people especifically. Today the term is less used than before, especially because it usually carries the implication that you are avoiding saying "black"
@@Luisfour oh, I was entirely in English mode! Thanks for the clarification as I agree that Black and Afro-descendent are now far more common to say in Chilean Spanish based on my experiences with my family, friends, etc.
Rohan It’s 2024 there’s no room for that kind of mentality anymore pack up and let go of the past
@@IANAOS … clarify please… I meant no disrespect.
Ace, giving National Geographic a run for their money! This vid was very educational.
Another great video the knowledge you bring to the rest of the world is mind blown considering how black people are the original people of the world 🌎
Me llama la atención cómo el linaje africano siempre es celebrado. Las personas afrodescendientes parecen encontrar mucho orgullo en sus raíces. Me parece genial que exista una búsqueda de las costumbres que marcaron su pueblo. Y que creen comunidad entre ellos. Soy chilena y espero visitar Arica algún día
Thanks Ace for you bravery to ask those difficult questions I loved” you could pass why claim to be African !” that’s Fire!!!! I’m planning a trip to Chile for February thank you for bringing these festivals to my attention!!!! ❤ love you keep up this good and necessary work!
Leon, thx for covering this my guy. Got to learn of my ancestry. If you're ever in Australia bro, hit a brother up. Chao.
This and the related subject matter videos you produce are so incredibly important and informative. I wish everyone would "like" these so the governing algorithm would push it out for wider distribution. There's a saying, "When the student is ready, the teacher appears." Thank you for giving these dignified, well-informed people a voice through your platform to share their history, connective tissue of the African diaspora and its relevance to their social conditions of today. With each video, you are helping to lift the veil of ignorance of so many(including myself). Well done.
Exellent documentary Ace. Thank you for a great cultural lesson.
What a great video! I learnt so much about my own country (im chilean). Loved it, man.
This is a nice mini doc. Well done, dude!
Its very nice to see others who are able to come from out of the shadows and proudly show their heritage. May our ancestors be well pleased with them.
This presentation is top tier. Powerful. The thumbnail? One of my favorite from you. Many thanks 👑
@Ace please consider doing work for and with Discovery and or Smithsonian. Your production is on that level and GoPro lost their one chance
Ace thank you so much for sharing your valuable videos about the Afrocentric people of Chile🤎🖤💚💛❤🧔🏾♂🌍🌎🌏. I also love your interaction with the people as well totally a plus!!🖤💜💚💛❤💯💯.May God continue to bless you and your family Ace..
I see why Ace doesn't go to Africa he means he can just show the Diapora from Latin America.I laughed when he got that reality check from that Afro Brazilian tour guide about racism in Brazil the way he popped his big eyes hilarious.Do better Ace we want this channel to hit a million subs peace brother !
Ace it is wonderful to hear and see Afro Chilean descendants share and acknowledge their African heritage. African dancing most of the time is all about storytelling. The wax artifacts in the museum are amazing.
Blessings! Great video! Love our Chilean heritage! Were you able to visit Peru and see their large beautiful Afro-Peruvian culture, which connects with the north of Chili as well?
Great Video Ace! 👏🏼
ACE great docommentary .
I am Ethio_American man I am very happy to see this.
Keep up the good work bro.
Great Gem here ACE. I'm already looking at flights to get to Arica. I want to go to that festival.
ACE amazing. Can you also do some series on the blacks of Mauritania and Morocco
Oh! I am going to watch this on the big screen with some popcorn! This quality recording! 4K?
I love watching this video Ace, this very informative thanks for continuing to make great content☺️
Im lost for words Ace i will one day visit this community
They do look mostly indigenous but that’s okay. Let them be proud of their African ancestors there is nothing wrong with that. It’s still apart of them. They hear the drums in their heart and to me that is beautiful ❤.
Beautiful stuff ! Thanks for the Great information and insight. 😎👍🏾
I think this jammy is now officially my favorite of all! Thanks for doing what you do best my G! From the heart!
Thank you for the amazing vlog ❤
African heritage doesn't always show physically if a person is mixed.
they respect and do not forget the memory of their ancestors
Naw it definitely would show those people are not African descendants they might had one ancestor thats black but they're not afro Chileans ppl
Great documentary vid! Keep up the great work!!!
Great work on this video! Hoping the Chilean news does a story on this video too! Unfortunately, many Chileans are deeply uninformed about Afro-descendants in their country in both past and present due to systemic racism in the government and society more broadly. Many people are even unaware that San Martín’s army that famously crossed the Andes to free Chile from Spanish rule was primarily composed of Black soldiers. Important stuff to learn in this video!
Jajajaja liberar a CHILE....y la idea general cuál fué.........

I'm really surprised and encouraged by the way people in these Latina countries are outgoing and open to strangers, again, I'm very encouraged to see how they're happy to rediscover their African heritage with so much pride, all I can say is wish them much success
Excellent as always brother Ace. Massive Respect.
Thanks again sir/ for this gathering of historical information,
In Chile, black slavery remained for nearly three centuries, from 1536 to 1823, although in the colonial productive apparatus as a whole, it was a secondary labour relationship. During that time, it was never imposed as the main labour regime, as it coexisted with others of greater weight, such as the assignment on horseback or on foot, tenancy, peonage, and Indigenous slavery, among others. The first contingents of slaves arrived in Chile as part of the Spanish armies of Diego de Almagro and Pedro de Valdivia. The role of the African descendants during the discovery and conquest was that of domestic servants and soldiers. However, from the end of the 16th century, the decline of the Indigenous population at a time when the economy was turning towards the export of livestock products produced a severe labour crisis that was partly remedied by the importation of black slaves from Africa. What, in the beginning, was a transfer of servants became a lucrative commercial activity, a labour supply market that extended the slave trade to our territory. July 24, 1823, was a historic date for Chile, as it was the first American country and the second in the world to decree absolute freedom from slavery,
My man Ace does it again...Great video!!
Best Video to date, excellent work!
The he’ ugly part and was muzzled man i tell you the things Enslaved ppl suffered.. beautiful museum.. this was very touching Ace, good job.
Your work is valuable, thank you for this.
well... Arica is part of Chile since about 140 years, and as this region became chilean most of the black people migrated to Peru, since they still recognized themselves as peruvians. Thus it is no surprise that afro-arican music sounds a lot like afro-peruvian music, and it is also no surprise that a population change did take place. The important thing to know is that until 1876 most of the inhabitants of this region had always been afrodescendants. Then came the war with Chile and many many immigrants from Central Chile migrated to the newly acquired territory. That explains somehow the phenotypes you see now there. They might not look very "black", but they really are. Apart from this very peculiar case of northern Chile, where a neo-ethnogenesis is being constructed, if one would really want to know something about the colonial and early republican afro-chileans, then the right thing to do would be to study what happened further south (see Afrocoquimbo), sometimes far further south (see Concepcion, and even in Patagonia their traces can be found). Piece by piece some evidence is coming to light in these regions too. Too bad that most people just accept what "is offered as afrochilean" limiting themselves to the evidence of the far north, a place that stricto senso did not participate in the formation of chilean culture "since the beginning"... If some new definitions and methodologies should be defined, another approach and another result would emerge. As a specialist in afrolatinamerican history and culture I would rather support that venue. BUT in any case this does not invalidate the effort people like Oro Negro have done, quite on the contrary! (I remember when about 50 years ago I proposed the recognition and research of this overlooked part of Arica`s history, most of my academic colleages just smiled, looked at each other, and then laughed)
Ace Is The Real Deal and some 😮😊❤❤❤
Ace you always have EXCELLENT content. ❤
I enjoyed this content, Ace. Thanks for highlighting this part of Chilean culture.
I am falling in love with chile. ❤️
