Great job Ace. I don’t know what made you run through the corn field like that but it brought me to a place that I couldn’t explain with silent tears running down my eyes. GOD BLESS you brother continue the great work. 🎥🇭🇹✊🏾

Caribbean blacks, American blacks, Latin America blacks, South America blacks, European blacks... WE ARE FAMILY-WE COME FROM ROYALTY!!! We were scattered to the four corners of the EARTH. We need to unite and love each other. LIKE NOW!!!

I hope more African Americans know about Black Latinos. We identified as Black, we are proud of being of African descent but the international media never shows Black Latinos. But this is our culture. I'm a Black Dominican ✊🏾🇩🇴🇩🇴

Magnificent Ace! To my beautiful cousins in Palenque Colombia, love to you from an African American woman in USA descendant from slaves that were brought to Georgia and Mississippi, Praise God and that your land will forever be blessed with abundance and all your needs met.

Wow absolutely beautiful..it makes me feel so many emotions i need to visit here

Black people in the U.S. know that they are our people also & that we were separated at one point in time. RESPECT TO COLUMBIA. BLACK LOVE.

Palenque reminds me of my village in Ghana 🇬🇭, carefree, stress-free, simple humble life! This episode really made me miss my hometown.

No matter where we are located in the world we all have an unspoken bond and respect. ✊🏾✊🏾 I love my people and we are like none other.

I am watching this video now from Kenya and I don't see any difference between us here and them, even the food. I really love them.

I'm from the southern part of Africa...I'm so glad we still have some black people in the diaspora who still see themselves as Africans.I wish one day you can come and visit the motherland.All the best my brothers and sisters..

That rum with the herbs and sticks inside, is still common in Nigerian till today

I’m Colombian and I’m a mix race person and I was raised in a town where people are mix with Native Colombia and Afro Colombia, so yes, I have African background and I’m proud of that…I was raised listening Congolese music

That place is so free &the people u can see is pure Africans. Yes they looks like u and me God bless mama zunny she created a great dish for ace nice uplifting video

In my opinion, this was the BEST video you have posted in Colombia. I felt the energy through the screen.

No one has done Palenque like this! Great video bro!

Hello kaka. I am from Tanzania. I see you speak Swahili. mambo vipi kaka. you are with family. Nakupenda. I really mean that. come back to the motherland. We love you even thou they you were stolen from us.

I must visit Colombia to see my brothers and sisters there. They look very much like us from Nigeria

As a Congolese am here to tell every African descendants that we love you what happened was a tragedy🇨🇩🇨🇩🇦🇴🇨🇬 🇬🇦 Africa is your home always welcomed. We still going through issues in the continent. I wish the air ticket could be lesser than 100 in order for you to come experience the motherland. Congo for sure has influenced a lot in music from Africa, to America and to Latin America. It in our DNA. From rumba, kompa, jazz, champeta and more they can all be traced to Congo.

Awesome. As an African who study African diaspora, this is just wonderful. Thank you for this video.

So as I get older and older, I'm learning that everything that I was taught in American schools was a lie....

This is so typical of our everyday African village cultures. Great people, great customs, great foods, great language, a great way of life! Thanks, Ace! Watching you from Kenya on the East Coast of Africa!

Our People , Our Story!!. Never will See this in american history books. Knowledge is Power.!! . Thank You Ace, and ALL THE CITIZENS OF PALENQUE FOR SHARING OUR STORY. MUCH APPRECIATED.!!

Weather people believe it or not .... We are scattered among the entire earth.... when you travel it opens your closed “American “eyes

Colombia is multicultural and this is why our country is beautiful, we all get along great and are very proud of our culture, hope you all can visit Colombia soon, greetings from USA 🇺🇸 🙏🇨🇴♥️✌️

Thanks for going to the place of my origins, you are an excellent KZfaqr, keep working, It was awesome to work with you!

Thank you so much for showing this side of Colombia. Many KZfaq videos just focus only on Cartagena the city and completely leave out this part of our history.

He said that when his ancestors came, different tribes came and each tribe spoke their own dialect or language and as they didn't understand each other or how they were not understood between them, they had to invent a new dialect, using the elements of each dialect or language and that was how the dialect of the Palenque was born

Wow! I truly enjoyed this video. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Kinbe la frèm pa lagé! ✊🏾🙌🏾🇭🇹

As a Black American, I've never seen anything like this and I love it! Subscribed ❤

When he said you are not African American you are an African descendant. Tears rolled down my face. That's beautiful. Amazing video!!💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

This is so interesting. Many years ago I travelled to Bogota. I was pleasantly SHOCKED to discover that I looked just like a lot of the locals! In fact, as long as I didn't speak, everyone took me for a local. ❤ I loved my time there. ❤

That really got to me when u ran through the crops to find freedom. Incredible! Thank you so much for this.

Our dad is from Venezuela 🇻🇪 and our mother is from Haiti 🇭🇹. They love your work and cultural connection.

Thanks a lot for find all our brother around the world... much love i gat for you from most populous black nation Nigeria 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬

Good job man,we appreciate your efforts finding our people

I like the way these people take pride in being African descendants.

What the brother was actually referring to when talking about history was surprisingly accurate and I love it! What he was referring to was that the slavers who commuted between the Americas and Africa were predominantly Portuguese. There's a commonly held misconception in the United States that they were mostly American or British but that's because the British and Americans were largely buyers and not direct slavers. What would happen would be that mainly the Portuguese would raid and strategically gather people from the coasts of Africa and sell them in Brazil or on islands like Sao Tome, Cape Verde, Jamaica, Cuba, Caribbean etc etc etc to whatever people (French, Spanish, Dutch, English, etc etc) dominated those colonies. Then from those colonies what would usually happen is there would be buyers from the states and other colonies who would transport those people to the mainland Americas hence why slavery mainly as an economy existed in the South of the US and in South America. When it comes to languages? The bantu languages he was referring to were bantu languages. It's because most of the people that were removed from Africa that were taken to South America were from what are now Bantu speaking countries. These include the republic of Congo, Angola, Kenya and Mozambique. Kikongo is a good medium because its one of the most easily intelligible Bantu languages amongst those that were involved during the era of colonisation. It shares alot with both south east bantu languages like xitsonga and kiswahili and south west bantu languages like kimbundu and oshiwambo so it makes sense that the folks that landed in Colombia would use it as a basis for communication. That was a cool thing to learn for me especially because I speak Kimbundu/Umbundu which isn't far from Kikongo so Palenque doesn't sound super distant at all 😲

Never knew Colombia 🇨🇴 has the third highest population. Interesting facts, gracias hombre

On 05:54 when he describes the language group Bantu, he is accurate it’s the same as Latin is to Europe. The more universal of the Bantu languages is Swahili, which is equivalent to English in modern world. Bantu speakers are mostly from Kenya to South Africa.

Pelenque is 100 percent certified Africans, living in harmony with nature, they should preserve their way of life. Ace, you sure hold the ace for making such Afro-centric content?

This is amazing!!! I am in a state of shock! As a Nigerian 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬 I see my brothers there in Palenque!! Blood 🩸 is truly thicker than water ! After 500 years, the African traits are still very strong! Every gesture, every smile, even the outlay of the town can readily pass for a Nigerian town ! I feel bereaved! 👊🏾🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬👊🏾!

This video brings me lots of emotion. I hailed from west Africa and this is our way of life. These people are our people and I wish I could pay a visit there. I know there will be some language barrier but don't care. What matters to me is am amongst my own people. Thanks brother for this unique video and peace to the people of palenque, Colombia.

Home girl is beautiful!!!

To all my black brothers and sisters throughout the world I oneil jones love you all so much 🥰🥰🥰

THE BROTHER ON THE Motor bike sumerised it very well for me!! (IT IS AFRICA AWAY FROM AFRICA)!!! i am feeling like i am in my village in Africa!!! after Hundreds of years, the African culture is still very present,!!!!.. 'AMAZING'.... Many thanks Ace..

I'm a black American and I just love how other black people around the world can speak more than one language.

i'm from congo, bantu......so happy to see and hear my people jah bless !❤

Can you even imagine what our ancestors been through. I pray Yah remember us.

Finally a country of blacks, that are proud and know they are AFRICAN... ❤

Wow!!! You are being blessed for making this video!! I am currently visiting in Peru. I spent a month in Medellin Colombia. I was treated so badly as a black woman that I didn’t want to go to any other cities in Colombia. Peru isn’t much better. I appreciate the awareness being brought to places like in this video where black people dwell. I feel if blacks travel to Colombia they should visit places like this city and put money into their economy. Please continue to do these videos and let us know how we can help with money, supplies, etc.

Very informative and authentic video with genuine commentary. Makes you feel as if you're actually there!

The chef was very nice , love her food and energy. The people and place is amazing.

Ace I don’t know if you will ever read this but please know this is healing to my soul on soo many levels. After being judged all because the color of your skin and never being taught just how magnificent of a creation you are growing up to knowing deep within in you a still small voice tells you that you do matter. Listening to that still small voice only wakes up the pain and desire to know just who you are and that when someone truly look at you…you matter because they know you are the secrect to soo many unanswered questions. We are a resilient people. Look at all we endured. Like soo many others…but to acknowledge the beauty of our ancestors through us is worth more than any treasure this life has to offer. This feeling and joy that I have just knowing that my ancestors roam these lands and left behind their legacy is more than all the riches in this world could ever buy. I rather have true freedom than smoking mirrors that this life fraudulently offers. This is living…This is freedom… God Bless You for taking the world on this journey with you. I am forever grateful more than you will ever know. This brings tears of joy to my soul. Continue to do what your doing because we need to see through your eyes and many others eyes the truth. I can honestly say… And now I see. God Bless You. What a humbling experience.

Great Video Ace!!! I remember when I first arrive in the USA that people, both black and white, kept telling me I was not black because I was Latino-Colombian, they were surprised to hear that my family was of African descent and we had a great population of black people in Colombia. I remember trying to prove my blackness, LOL. The good part is that those interactions lead to conversations that lead to understanding and appreciation of our roots and that the USA is not the only country in the Americas with black people that had to fight for freedom, and that the term African-American encompasses ALL people of African descendant in the American continent.

Ace when you ran through the corn field, it I felt I was with you. That felt real my brother. Thank you, blessings 🙌🏿

My ancestors are Bantu. This video warms my heart.

I never knew of this place. Bless you for showing us this beautiful place and introducing us to the people of this place.

Love your content and positive energy. Your channel is better than cable. It's also therapy for me, I lost my mom to cancer recently and you've helped me so much. Be safe and keep up the good work.

Wow I love your video... Very touchy.. I felt something special about this video.. Gob bless you brother!!! Great job...

our sisters are the most beautiful mothers, daughters, aunties, nieces and Grannies on Earth!

It's beautiful how certain of the slave trade the people of Palenque are. Though here in America some dont even care to want to acknowledge it. The brainwashing of America is so profound that we here with access to some of the best necessities of life dont respect the hardship our ancestors went through. The internet is the connection for us all. We are all over the world. Thankyou for this video brother. This place is going to get an incredible influx of diasporans visiting now🙏🏽 Blessings to the diaspora

Am from ghana,the life style in palenque,just a replica of a normal village in ghana,blood is thicker than water

Since I've discovered your videos my brother you have helped me restore my African principles back in order I appreciate you and thank you. Our ancestors would be extremely proud of the work and information you put out.

Makes me want to leave Lincoln Nebraska USA and move there until I die with my family... I love the vibe my ppl and the love there... I want to spend the second half of my life there... Thank you ...You've done a wonderful job !!!!!!

Ace ..... Your narration while running in the cornfield ..... was so vivid .... I felt I was the one ... reaching freedom !! Awesome .......!!!

This looks like heaven. Not much financial wealth but wealth of other kind and super happy people enjoying life. Packing my suitcase as we speak...

as an African watching this was pure joy left motherland kidnapped violently 400+years held against their will but look how they survive & thrive WOW!!!!! you could leave mama Africa physically but africa is with you spiritually !!! the love of our mother land Africa is stronger than anything!!!!!!!!! ♥️Hafrika 4eva!!!!!

As a football fan and someone that grew up in the UK (European football that is ☺️), I’ve always seen Columbia as a country with many blacks. There have been many historically great black Colombian football players like Asprilla, Freddy Ronòn and Carlos Valderdama to name a few. 🙌🏾

Dude knows his stuff, as an African! I want to visit that part of Colombia.. seems very friendly and chill. Ya can come to Africa anytime.. all are welcome home!

I am a colombian for 30 years and Ace has seen more of the ocuntry than me lol

You are a beautiful human being. Thank you for sharing these experiences with us. ❤️

Very informative, I am a Haitian as well, I feel really connected with palanke, I am living in the US, I hope one day if God will that I will set foot there also

That’s true. The media does not show black people. This is the first I am seeing this part of Colombia.

Inspiring moment when Ace ran through those fields. Thank you, Ace, for bringing these amazing stories about the deep rooted history of Pelenque and how they have preserved their culture and people. Just wow... 🙏🏼

As a Colombian I would love for you to have visited Colombias Pacific Coast, places like Buenaventura, and the towns in the Chocó and Cauca region. Those are real African Villages and maroon communities as well. Thank you for this video!

I am from palenque. Its cool to see ppl intersted in our culture. Big W

Bro! All I can say is beautiful!! When you were running through the corn field came out the the other side and said "freedom" I got choke up! Bro! I can't say it no more than I have in the past you're truly blessed!

Bro I´m from Brazil and never knew this places in Colombia I gonna visit it soon, your documentary it was amazing! Props Bro! God Bless u

Running in the CORNFIELDS and being FREE being FREE and seeing the mud huts was awesome, I want to feel it. Welcome home my brother continue the journey.

Fantastic video. I've shared to many groups!!! AFRICAN PEOPLE ARE ONE!!!

Congo!??? OMG! I'm from Congo and this just made me feel good that I have brothers in Colombia! Now Palenke is on my to do list!

Man, I am fully in tears at the age of 67 still asking the question why?.

So I took the trip to pellenque as I told you and yes you was right it is everything. It reminded me of when I was a child back home in Jamaica I met with Tyler and he gave me a grand tour I even get to fly kite and do the boxing gym also I did the marter

In Nigeria we cook coconut white rice as well especially in the Delta part of Nigeria. And it tastes delicious.

Was just going through KZfaq come across your video the running in that corn field that was the hardness part for me I know a man is not supposed to cry but you make me we have come along way they try to eliminate us all over the world but they have not succeeded Unity is strength African let continue our culture One love

This is what makes you soooo different from other travel KZfaqrs. Love it. Thank you for this content.

I just went to cartagena you are the right the black culture is deep it felt so good being there with my people

You just earned a subscriber. I loved the whole video. That ending was powerful! The ancestors were with you and speaking to us through you! I am watching from Texas and feel the connection. Thank you!

I never realized how identical the continent of South America is to the continent of Africa.. Awesome content as usual!

This is better than the History or Discovery channels. Learned so much just by following you around in this video. One love! 🇯🇲 🇺🇸 You running through those corn stalks was beautiful and cathartic to watch.

As an African (Kenyan)🇰🇪 I can assure u these people r real Africans irregardless of where the were taken to... Their way of life is similar to Africa

When you ran through the cornfield and acted like you were back in those days.. hit different.. crazy world..

Informative documentary Ace. As a black man the running in the cornfields and the freedom fists at the end of the video really got me emotional. Thanks bro. Keep doing your thing. We need it.

This was AMAZING! I loved seeing my beautiful brothers and sisters of Palenque and learning of their history.

I don’t know why but I absolutely love to see black Spanish speakers! My family is from Belize and unfortunately Belize is the only country in Central America where Spanish is not the first language. I wish it was so that I would know more Spanish. The world is so cool!

Been from east Africa .when he said Swahili Congo.I almost shed a tear..my Bantu people representing Colombia

I have learned so much about the diaspora of black people from South American and Caribbean countries. We(in the US) were forbidden by law to read or even keep names that would let us know our origins. But places like Colombia, Cuba, Haiti, Brazil, etc hold glorious lessons of our diaspora. Loved this. Ace if you ever have time watch "La Esclava Blanco" on Netflix.

Ace! That video was DOPE! 🙏100% Real🙏 The Peoples in town were ....PURE Gold!🙏 And when you ran threw the corn field....😪✊.DEEP! My Brother!....God Bless you🙏Always I am Puerto Rican born in Brooklyn NY, Raised in Boston Be safe! God Bless!

Hello to our black family in South America from USA we must work together

Brotha, that ending made me tear up! Powerful!
