Programa Choco-Quibdó 7

Abstract

The radio program presents a conversation with Luis Felipe Rodríguez, who talks about the Black Christmas celebration in Bogotá, an event for Afro-descendants living in the city to reconnect with their culture. He talks about the importance of keeping Afro traditions alive, such as bullerengue, son de negro and other Pacific dances. Rodríguez also points out the risk of loss of cultural identity among young people due to the influence of urban music and violence in their regions of origin. Additionally, he comments on efforts in his community to teach young people to value their cultural heritage through groups like the "Rean Torcha." The program reflects on the importance of rescuing Afro-descendant roots, combating violence and promoting peace, in addition to the fight to improve the socioeconomic situation of Afro-descendant communities.
