African Americans need to know about how much we endure throughout the world and support black culture when they travel. This should be a destination for Africans the world over, come and spend some money here, as well as, other Columbian cities that have large black populations.

We should goto Choco and dump a bunch of money in the area. I'm rooting for everybody black.

I suppose you must have by now a list of all black cities of Colombia. In case you don't I'll make a list for you: 1. Quibdó 2. Buenaventura 3. Tumaco 4. Santander de Quilichao 5. Puerto Tejada

I am Colombian and although I am not Black, I love the diversity of my country, and regardless of our tone/color of our skin as long as you are born in Colombia you are my brother and/or sister. Therefore, the Black people are my siblings too. :) In a nutshell, I love all of my people (all the good beautiful and kind hearted Colombians).

THANK YOU. Finally, Americans are realizing that there are blacks in Colombia. I am a Black Dominican American. But I have known for years, about the blacks in Colombia. The provide so much richness and variety to Colombians its incredible. Their life is very similar to the Dominican Republic. I love that Black Colombians are proud of their blackness. Big up to Black Colombians! In Dom. Rep. moto-taxis are called moto-concho.

When I went to Medellin I was so happy when I saw Black people. I literally ran over to say hello, but couldn't say anything else. It's my goal to speak Spanish so that I can communicate with my people in Spanish speaking countries.

Thank you Ace for continuously teaching the world about the global diversity of the Afro diaspora. My BFF is from Colombia. She is a Beautiful Boldly Black Woman. People in California are still shocked when she speaks Spanish! The ignorance is real.

As a senior Jamaican living in the US, I am beyond excited and happy to learn about the history and the existence of these awesome human beings in that part of the world.. What a wonderful surprise this has been.. One Love to you Ace, great job!

Thanks Ace for bringing the spotlight on Black people all over Latin America and Mexico; which due to bigotry and color prejudice has been hidden for centuries!

It's cool how on a random day the black people of Quibdo, Choco are showing so much love to the children.

Dr. Nicolás León,(1859-1929) Historia General de Mexico,1919. "The almost extinction of the original negroes during the time of the Spanish conquest and the memories of them in the most ancient traditions induce us to believe that the negroes were the first inhabitants of Mexico." Founder of Museum of Michoaćan in Mexico.

We need more black education videos like this.

I am so proud of my people in Choco! They are rich in culture and community, and they have a lot to teach and share. Thank you Brother Ace! This video was such an inspiration!

Love this video! Black people in America need to explore more places like this instead going over to Europe.

You are doing an amazing work brother. All the blacks around the world appreciate your hard work.

Brotha keep doing Gods work exposing the world to Afro cultures all over. You opened my eyes

When you’re watching this video, it doesn’t even seem like you’re in Columbia. It’s like you are in a different part of the world. I love how they have their own structure to their culture and society there. The people are so open. I love how they have the children involved early in the culture so that they will never forget. You always find good food. It was great seeing Tay there. 🌎👣🙏

The fashion show was incredible. Beautifully crafted costumes worn by beautiful people. I'm sharing this.

Choco's people may live in an improvished area of Columbia yet they are cultrually RICH the art work within that beautiful church tells the truth of their ancestors ❤ may god bless these beautiful people!❤

This video was so powerful thank you Ace for bring light to something that was kept in the dark keep showing how beautiful black people truly are 💯💪🏾🙏🏾🇭🇹

I like how Eddy said “We kept here working surviving doing what we do.” He was like you know how we do it as black folks universally.

As a Colombian American I find it hard to believe that so many foreigners don't know about the Afro Colombian population and it's rich cultural contributions to the country's identity. Even though I'm not black, I've always admired what my black Colombian brothers have been able to do there in spite of so much adversity. Their social contributions and influencial importance in how they have been able mold Colombia's cultural DNA can not go unsaid. I've often noticed that when we (Colombians) meet other Colombians outside of the country, say the USA for example, we just see another Colombian. Rarely does race come to mind. But in the USA race seems to be the 1st thing people notice when encountering strangers. Don't get me wrong, there is racism in Colombia. Although not to the same degree as you may find in the USA. More than anything else, Colombia suffers from socio economic prejudice. Which is in my opinion just as bad. A poor person is heavily discriminated there. This part of Colombian society saddens and frustrates me to no end. It's the main cause of so much conflict and misery there. Thank you Ace for shedding light unto the plight of what many people go through there on an everyday basis. Much love hermano ❤

Brought tears to my eyes Ace. Love my global African family!

I am originally from Africa and watching this is like watching zanzibar

Ace, I love your commentary on religion. I am Dr. Douglas Thomas. Author of the classic text, African Traditional Religion in the Modern World. You are correct when insinuating that those of us who are of African descent, lost something essential, when forced to abandon our religious tradition. Again, thanks so much for sharing this very important information.

The kids are beautiful, and it shows the uniguness and creativity of black people. This wonderful, and I will be there for the next one.

Yo Ace, my wife is from Quibdo! If you get time go to the Nature Park in Tutunendo. It's like 20 minutes away, there's a small fee to get in but worth the trip. Be careful though, seems like evertime I visit Choco I always see a snake in the rural areas!

One of the best videos yet! I love being apart of the African community we everywhere!

This tour is deep. Loved the paintings reflecting the African-Columbian history..

You did it again, King...got me tearing up seeing how proud and cultured our people are in places where it's not known or expected. All I can say is...one day. Ace Live...my new Spanish teacher.

I am so happy that you have showcased these wonderful people. I love my people

Just beautiful!

Wow...the pride those Colombians have of being Black is absolutely mind-blowing. Even the tiffany glass in the church had Black depictictions. I am beyond words...and had no Idea Columbia had a city with such a large Black population...😮

I am enjoying getting back to your usual blog with searching for fellow Afro-Caribbeans in the Americas....we all need to appreciate each other and learn from each other.

Its crazy im looking at all the foods im cape Verdean 🇨🇻 and we eat similar foods i guess all of these foods most come from Africa mixed with Spanish and Portuguese culture

Did a tour with Black Choco Tours last year to visit a cultural celebration, San Pacho Fiesta!! It was amazing, next year September you guys have to visit!

You caught my Niece marching in the beginning!

You should check out Yolombó Antioquia Colombia… where the vice president of Colombia (Francia Marquez) grew up.

The tour Guide’s Hair is life.. 😅 I wish my hair looks like that.

Brother, you continue to grow and educate us all to the options we have in this world. Thank you for opening our eyes!

I love when you do videos of the Africans in Latin America it shows how much little we in the Caribbean know of our brothers and sisters right next door

love this history lesson and thank you for bridging this to us in the US

Thank you so much Ace! I've been to Colombia several times (Bogotá and smaller cities outside). I didn’t see many people that looked like me and when I did, we were so genuinely pleased to see each other, we greeted each other like old friends! I always queried, "Ok, so where are the people that look like me here?" My eyes have been opened and some questions answered by your channel! 👏🏾

Thank you for showing me my country through the distance. I left Colombia when I was a teenager. I live in the U.S., I am glad you are showing the world the beautiful people of Colombia in all its beautiful colors, literally. 😍💝🇨🇴♥️

Also another reason why there are so many black people there is because the Atrato River was one of the original sites for a canal. So blacks were brought there in 1820s to dig the canal Caribbean-Atlantic to Pacific, but during the digging they discover precious gems. The canal was stopped and mining took its place.

I was in Istmina, Choco, Colombia 🇨🇴 2 weeks ago the kanaval festival ..beautiful and kindness … food lot of rice plantains yuca and meat

Just subscribed my friend and I’ve just discovered you two days ago. I’m going through this cancer journey and you help me wanna live. It’s inspiring, and makes me miss being social. I’m to sick to barley even work anymore, but you have for sure helped me keep fighting and pursuing to be the best me I can be. Much blessings and look forward to your life and health journey. 🙏🏿🧡🙏🏿🧡

they seem like such beautiful people inside and out i love my people globally

Is Nice to see that the african diaspora keep the their believe. The ancestors never sleep.

Wow. In my opinion, this is your best video yet! Your skills have grown exponentially! The music, the animations, language translations!! Excellent work Ace!!!

I absolutely loved this video! You’re production gets better and better ❤ I am soo happy to see the chocolate skin around the world & they embrace it beautifully !! My heart is full 💓

I'll be traveling there soon.

You did it again bro! You once more outdid yourself! Watching the hour presentation brought cold seed on my skin and even some tears of joy to my eyes. It is so beautiful to see our people living in harmony with one another in Colombia!

I Knew Columbia had black roots. I love history. I love you my son and I love the content ❤❤❤❤

It hurts to see how disconnecred we all are. We're all over the world but we don't know each other's history. I wish it was different.

What a blessing to be able to travel like you do. Enjoy your life. ❤

Thank you Ace for showing another beautiful part of my country Colombia. I am Colombian American and majority of my family is from Barranquilla 🎉. Colombia has a lot of diversity of which you haven’t even reached yet and that’s what makes it unique, interesting and beautiful. You never imagine what else you find out about Colombia 🇨🇴

I know the attorney. He is a great guy. His name is Eddie. If you travel to Colombia look for him. They are us. We are them... These are our brothers and sisters. So proud of him. He is reaching out to black america.

Bro i will love to live here its so amazing 😢as a black American brother ppl are so different and welcoming

I would love to go to this city.

Seeing the girl marching in a band was great for me to see, because thats what we do In New Orleans too for Mardi Gras. Im talking about everything is almost the same as when the school march through the city for Mardi Gras in New Orleans.

Hello Ace you did it again and I was so happy to watch your video. Being from the French/Dutch Caribbean, it was not news to me but great to see all my Brothers and Sisters in Columbia. My church has a pastor coming from Bluefield Nicaragua and when I saw that video of yours I was like, only God will do that. lol. I have a project for you if you feel to venture on the other part of the globe. We have Black Japanese and Black Russian but don't call me to do the translation. I was raised in France and Switzerland. Yes I do speak the voltaire and swiss german not like before. Swiss German is a dialect so no google translation exist for it. Ace you are the BEST you brought tears in my eyes, Bro you need to stop.. LOL...

Cool video! I do wish their healthcare system improves there, that place is literally sitting on goldmines! The people are golden too 🤩😎 Observation leaves me to assume that women make up a large portion of their town’s population. 🤗😉😁 and it seems so peaceful there too! I loved how he named the other melanin- enriched towns nearby. Our ppl have always been fashion forward! I loved the artful catwalk presentations and the parade of young girls empowering the streets!! Food looked yummy! That hearty laugh Ace gave had me tickled too, he really didn’t know! 😅

this made me love colombia even more ❤️ wow colombia such a beautiful and amazing place… falling in love with this country even more

Boricua Hispanic Indian n black Iam. We latinos are mix n that why I love the way we are we era the sample, puerto rico cuba santo domingo n Colombia n other places are people look black but some people don't look black but they era black by DNA like me the doctor tell me n my grandma mother was black n other India both of my grandma was dark , my grandma from my father was light skin looks like India so .

Give thanks for this useful information-never knew that such a vibrant thriving black community existed in that country.

Beautiful people, beautiful culture. Definitely adding Choco to my list for 2024. "That Ain't Water" best line of the video 🤣🤣🤣

THIS IS A GREAT ONE. ME LOVED THAT CULTURE MIXED FROM BLACKS AND AMERICAN INDIGENAS!!!!

I would love to visit there and introduce Tanzanian Cuisine.

I’m from Chocó and am so glad to having you in our land. Thanks Ace for sharing the other Colombia…

Thank you for sharing. You have allowed me to see places I never felt I would see or desired to see but now I desire to see these places first hand. Thank you again Brother

Will be nice to see all the spirituality of our brothers and sisters from the other side of the see. Specialy their dieties

Love these freaking documentaries Ace. I know teachers be using these in their world history classes. Love the intro as always, so much go into it and the quality is top notch. Thank you brotha. Thank you for letting us know that out brothers and sisters are everywhere. P.s. I was wondering what was taking soo long on a video haha, but now I know. Shoudl've known it was gonna be something good.

This is a Fantastic Video, I hope that in 2023, they realize how AWESOME they actually are! Gorgeous on Every level!

The food looks amazing

My Colombian Brothers &Sisters God Willing Someday I Come And Visit You

Ace, the algorithm has me not seeing your videos??!!🤯🙁Your speaking about positivity and the matrix over here doesn’t want you spreading the word. This is great content keep it up bruh.

ACE this is the number one video of black latino culture. I would like you visit our Afro Latino brothers in Guinea Ecuatorial, in West Africa.

Great cultural content it demonstrates the resilience of the African experience and how we have influenced and developed our own cultural and norms throughout this hemisphere. The restuarant and girls school which I would like to know more about also demonstrates the power of sisterhood. Choco is a vibrant representation of a can do experience despite economic and social roadblocks. Ace continue to bring us great content that truly matters....oh and I see playa your lady friend is fire😅

Go ahead Bruh. Commenting before I even watch. Because I know that it's a hit.

John Mitchell ----with a taste of Ace making the peolple happy and glad to see us and we return the faver, they have their problems also.

This video was awesome. It was very refreshing to see a lot of rich black culture in Colombia. Thank you, Ace.

ACE - IMO, this is one of your most important and informative videos posted. To see women empowered in a chocolate city such as this one was very refreshing. RESPCT BROTHA! btw - I'm glad you treated your compadres to a meal after you crushed the sampler......LMAOOOOOO

They look Black BLACK... not mixed but South Carolina Black! I love it lol

Ace It's great that you continue to shine a light on people of African decent in every country you visit because it also allows us to know they exist in countries we would of never know they exist in due to the main stream media not mentioning them or their communities. It also gives us and incentive to visit their communities as well when we travel to their countries. Please continue giving us these type of videos along with the other ones. Blessings!

Hey Ace, thanks for letting me show you around!

Thank you for sharing your travel experiences with us. Your stories have taken me on a virtual journey to destinations I had never known before. I am grateful for the opportunity to be immersed in the beauty and charm of these places through your vivid descriptions. Your adventures have inspired me to explore the world and step out of my comfort zone. You are a talented storyteller, and I look forward to reading more about your experiences in the future.

Ace, this video is informative and tastefully executed. I’m proud of you and your work. Keep doing what you’re doing.

Thank you Ace,This was Beautiful to watch… very Dope. Peace Much Respect.

All Latin America comes in all different flavors many countries have Afro Latinos.

African spirituality is the oldest, aka religion on earth. So, no surprise

Espero que puedas disfrutar las fiestas de San Pacho, es otro nivel😊

I ❤ this video Ace Beautiful people , food, and culture. I really appreciate traveling along with you. The parades remind me of the Mardi Gras we have in New Orleans always a great celebration 🎉🎉🎉🎉 A positive video for all to see! VIVA! ❤❤❤

Ace I love the warmth of the people. I appreciate the ingenuity of the locals, using scraps and making beautiful costumes to represent their ethnicity. The fashion show is simply beautiful and the models are proud of their heritage. Thank you Ace for the knowledge of Choco City in Columbia.

Thank you so much for shining the light on Quibdo, Choco! I have visited there before and I was so impressed with the students that were very astute and very conscious politically. The people are proud and beautiful. At the time I was there there was a big struggle against the multinational corporations taking their land along the rivers and the pacific coast for the resources. Colombia is rich with culture and history.

I love this video. Viva El Choco💖😎

Salute to brotha Ace on these Afrocolombian video, travels...Salute to my brothas and sistas in Colombia ✊🏾✊🏾 history is important...now , Unite!

HI COLOMBIA 😊

Ace does it again...Thank you for all you do. Salute from Texas 🙏🏽
