- We visited Cuajinicuilapa - one of several Afro-pueblos with the largest number of African descendants in Mexico. It was all love and that love was extended to us. I'm glad we got to visit this region.

I can't explain my reaction to this video. I literally cried throughout this video. I mean the ugly cry. I really can't explain it. I did the same thing when I climbed up the pyramid in Tulum. There is something about Mexico that is connected to my soul.
Really glad you connected w/ the content.
The pyramids were built by the indigenous not Africans
We have had harsh experiences but we are fighters.
As a Mexican tha went to school up to secundaria, we never notice color of skin,we all saw each other the same untoll I cros the border,omg you think Witherspoon are racist,lolman its the blacks in the us,200%way more racist,so o love to go to México and visit and feel my genuino blacks.

Good to be able to interact with Mexican people of African decent and away from the toxic American society
To be completely honest it was great to interact w/ The Diaspora away from "pop- Mexico" too. It's a different world there and they have something really special brewing.
Mexican and African decent
Blacks can live like this anywhere, just stop killing and robbing each other. The tiny dark population in Mexico adopted Mexican culture
It's Toxic American society that is bringing all this attention to this class of Mexicans and enforcing some weird kind of division and putting a label on them as "Black-Mexicans" when we worked so hard to eradicate such labels for the past 100 years. All that this is creating is that Mexican society will isolate them as "other" instead of just looking at them as Mexicans.
You wrong
Our first 2 leaders where mix Michoacános and zulu
And they call everyone American no tags
You have to be more specific
Thank you for your videos. I’m black and my wife is Mexican so it’s great to see that there’s a vibrant black community in Mexico and that there’s a black history that we don’t really see or learn. ❤❤❤
Beautiful! We just interviewed a black Texan a chilango. They were really cool. Video dropping Monday'ish
Did you ever hear about "Gaspar Yanga"?
I'm 13 generation descendent. He was the founder of the first free town of America
They also descent from blacks, read History. The reason brown people exist its due to Indigenous ppl mixed w white, and we came out as a new race, brown. We are the same people. 😅
Yeaa these are our black Mexicans 😂😂 we don’t like talk American blacks
Mexican roots are nice people to all people! By nature
Que viva la negritud!!! En México se les ama, se les respeta y se les admira... es más, no se puede imaginar México sin esa tercera raíz!
Thank you! Viva Mexico!
Los Mexicanos somos malinchistas. Teniendo a nuestros hermanos Afromexicanos no les damos la bienvenida como se las dieron a los haitianos.
Seamos sinceros, no siempre se les respeta, Mexico no es un pais libre de racismo pero sobre TODO de clasismo.
Mientras sean desmadrosos, ruidosos y valemadrista que vivan pero muy lejos donde los aguante su P. Mother!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Im from Michoacan , my uncle on dad's side married Afro Mexican . My dad is Mestizo and my mom is white mexican(blonde hair green eyes). My family is very mixed, I have afro Mexican, white Mexican and Mestizo family. I think I just got lucky, Im glad you guys are showing this , thank you.❤
Kinda similar like the Caribbean; most people are mixed.
Many Mexican mestizos have African Ancestors/Ancestry themselves.
The word-identity of "mestizo" (which originally only meant Indigenous+European ancestry) has been used from colonial times to hide African "blood" in official records and social life (a married couple saying a son/daughter is mestizo/mestiza at birth, but then some siblings are labeled as African descendants, just like some of their grand-parents; a man/woman identifies as mestizo/mestiza to be able to marry a española/español, but inquieries reveal they have African "blood")... It was one way to survive a racist society. It still is a way to erase the Afro-Mexican Ancestors in present day families.
Last August 2023 there was the First commeration of the Afro-Michoacana community! With academics and activists of Afro-Mexican descent: Jorge Amos Martínez Ayala, senadora María Celeste Sanchez Sugía, diputado Sergio Peñaloza Perez...
Puedes buscarlo como "Primer Foro Estatal sobre la Comunidad Afrodescendiente en Michoacán".
@@africoa2366lol you guys always claiming other peoples cultures. 😂😂 mestizo means the mix between indigenous and Spaniard mix almost all of us Mexicans have this blood. 🩸
@@mayonesa6610Who’s trying to claim everybody’s culture??? You have it backwards Smdh The above post was correct Mestizo means the mix of Indigenous & European Ancestry. So they are correct Spain is in Europe. Mexico ended slavery in 1837 some years after gaining independence from Spain. So how are they trying to claim other ppls culture when many Mexicans are of Mestizo & African Ancestry. You think all those Africans just left Mexico after 1837 Smdh No they intermixed with Mexican/Mestizo ppl….many of you just like to deny that fact Smdh
@@choochooj9738 you said mestizo word has being use to hide African blood, 🤣🤣🤣🤣 like saying that African blood it’s everywhere and you guys build Mexico lol . When it’s not mestizo it’s only indigenous and Spanish what almost all of us Mexicans have. Slaves came later.
These people are so beautiful, and warm. My family is mixed I'm indigenous/ Mexican American, and my siblings are afro/Mexican American. ❤
They really are. We love the general kindness of Mexicans but these folks were Extra and we soaked it all in. A wonderful place!
U siblings Is Afro/Mexican/Us citizen this Is correct ... México Is NorteAmerica..
Afro is a hairdo.
Africa is the continent
@@judithgrace9850 my family is in Texas and we are as well 🫶🏼 all my life I was asked “what are you” and I just say idk human 😂
I saw you guys working, during the Afro-descendant festival in Cuajinicuilapa Guerrero, thank you for sharing what Afro-Mexican culture is and what it represents.
Ohh wow you saw us....collecting data lol really enjoyed being there and sharing our experiences with the world! Great and beautiful culture!
@TheYarbros I m tourguide from acapulco who was attending, an embassy from costa de marfil during the festival afromexicano
@@chobytours just say MEXICAN. let the fking african word. for the sensitive AFRO AMERICANS.
No such thing Afro Mexican 😂 your blood is African
Thank you for such a beautifully produced video on Afromexicano’s Afromexicanas. I’m Chicano with Afromexican roots and growing up in the states I didn’t understand why the light skin Hispanics would try to put me down cause of my curly afro hair and dark skin because I always loved my look. Vicente Guerrero was mexicos first and only Afromexican who abolished slavery. Maybe you can meet Samantha Leyva, Mexico first Afromexican to win Miss Mexico a few years back and is active in the community. Love your videos! Thank you so much for showing our people and culture in positive loving light. 💪🏾❤️🏆
Love hearing from you! Yes, colorism here seems to run deep as we listened to the stories of the different people that we talked to. I don't know why Mexico doesn't see it as racism... but it was nice connecting with the tribe and seeing that they are living their best lives. Loved the kids too! They are raising some world changers in Costa Chica. -Thanks for watching
No one wants to put you down… you seem to have an inferiority complex to think that anyone wants to put u down…
@@TheYarbrosI think that the racism in México is kinda un the shadows and normalice, isn't as violent like in the USA, obviously racism will always be racism, but i think my first encounter with a more violent racism was in Canada, where literally an old lady yelled at me in the subway just because i tried to help her, something like that never happened to me in México, I think that's the main difference.
@@TheYarbrosfor the same reason you should fix the racism in the country you were born in, instead of going to another country expecting my people to accept your wishes or ideologies.
@@TheYarbrosbecause we are proud of our color, we are proud of being mixed so, we don't assume everything is an insult or
What an impactful video. I am a Mexican American (as labeled), raised in the US from Mexican immigrants. All my life I have been seen or identified by American society as Mexican (which I am proud of) but only European immigrants become Americans I guess. Thank you for bridging our cultures - Mexicans and Africans are more prone to discrimination because of our shear color. I embrace my African and African American friends - and pray for a more inclusive America. Thank you for sharing - all we want is acceptance and to be respected. Love and peace...
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
No first nation people are the true natives, pink euros bullied their way here how sad!😊
Respect to you my friend I hope so too😊
@@TheYarbrosI enjoy your video too my man😊😊
I'm so glad that you took the trip to this area and made your video. I remember mentioning the Costa Chica to you guys a couple of years ago and I appreciate your efforts to show Mexico's third root! I know many Americans are surprised to find out that Mexico is so multicultural and especially the African influence. Maybe you can look into some historical Afro-Mexican figures like, Vicente Guerrero, José Maria Morelos y Pavon, and Yanga. Thanks for your wonderful videos. Much appreciation from a Chicano from Kansas City!
Thanks and yes we are looking at some historical figures.
Absolutely loved it, thank you for sharing your culture and experiences.❤
This is the Mexico I want to see 🥰 I knew it existed, thank you for finding it and sharing 🥰
Thank you for coming along with us!!!
Well to be fair they make up 1% so it's hard for people to notice this tbh
And also in Acapulco we do the dance of the devils and Moros If you saw the main street of the Zapata neighborhood in Acapulco every December 10, 11, there are hundreds and hundreds doing that dance, it looks beautiful ❤️
Lmfaooooooo.... please stay in your home, Baltimore or Detroit 😅😅😅
Siempre en la historia de México se dice que somos mestizos pero que hermoso saber que en los mexicanos también existe la negritud y que muchos mexicanos tienen esa raíz es de mucho orgullo
Yes, it is a beautiful colorful land. That mestizos lable almost erased the black identity but it is reemerging now. Thanks for watching!
así es, también ese aporte afro es parte del mestizaje, si te fijas, están muy mezclados, por que en ésta tierra no hubo problema para mezclarse entre todos, los españoles y los nativos no hacían "ascos" como sí lo hacían los colonizadores ingleses.
El mejor video que he visto,😮😮😮 cuajinicuilapa es el mejor lugar del mundo, de ahí son las mejores danzas de los diablos de todo Guerrero, el la danza más elegante, más guerrerense,con más clase, uufff y la gente más divertida alegre y buyanguera de todo mi hermoso estado de Guerrero la costa chica es lo máximo, la gente es bien verga 😊😊😊😊
Gracias, gracias, gracias! ¡Nuestro tiempo allí fue el mejor que hemos tenido en México!
amazing to see culture like this! thanks so much for finding this and sharing with us!
You guys are awesome been watching you for a solid 3 or 4 years now and your videos always bring me happiness. Just thought I'd let you guys know that you bring a lot of joy in to my life, also learned a lot about Mexico and I am Mexican.
I was born out there but at the age of 2 my parents brought me to the US and I've only gone back once, so seeing your videos takes me there and makes me appreciate where I am from even more.
Thank you
Wow, thank you!
Espero que a ustedes mis amigos, les haya quedado claro ahora, que aquí en México, No es racista decir "negro" a alguien, acá en México, usamos esa palabra de cariño hacia nuestros hermanos. Muchos de mis familiares son afromexicanos ❤ soy de Acapulco, espero que visiten mi ciudad muy pronto 🙏🥰
It isnt racist to call someone black...but it is to do it in a negative way, even if you don't mean anything by it. I have a friend who told me his nickname was slave when he went to college in Queretaro and he hated it but he said it was normal. When people are a minority they don't feel empowered to say that hurts my feelings to the general public but they do say it to their family and friends. Mexico seems to have a lot of terms that are negative in regards to black people. It's a hangover from that cast system and it isn't okay. It needs to change.
easy, simple, return to africa, in 1860s gringos tried to take away all africans and africans didnt want to go to africa, so, all of you reject your own race, liberia is the example of that, africans were returned to africa and took slave to the original africans in africa, what an awfull people are the africans in cem anahuac@@TheYarbros
@TheYarbros who are you?
While you might think, your beliefs are aligned with Mexican people! Its not like that!
Mexico is a different country! You only have the AMERICAN perspective!
You dont know my country!
As an indigenous Mexican! Who has lives in both countries! I see people like you! Come to mexico and promote this partially correct racism! However, mexico is still developing and changing! I strongly urge you people to just observe and not get involved! Afro-Mexican aren't the only people that get discriminated!
My Afro-Mexican people are really respectful and generous with people around them!
I've lived in the United States! I observe and judge them too, but at the same time, i know its not my place to go and introduce my ideology into them!
In conclusion! You have little understanding of our society!
@@vital4644_ I am more than a USA perspective. Been traveling the world for the past 7 years full time and listening to peoples stories. Just like the people I listen to here. Full interviews coming soon. I said nothing negative about my brothers and sisters. There is a swell of Black pride happening there and I love it and will do all that I can to support it. So with your criticisms pile on...no problem at all. I am built for it.
@@TheYarbros im sure you have helped so much in the UNITED STATES!
In a way you 2 are predators!
As a Mexican i have already started talking with my people as well!
Afro AMERICANS believe they are the center of the world and believe they can save other, while they can't save their own people in a broken society!
"Black Pride"? You represent a failed society, trying to redeem itself in Mexico!
You are welcome in Mexico, welcome to speak about racism, but indoctrination on supresión is another is not acceptable! Learn about social class racism, perhaps you will understand the difference of racism in Mexico vs the United States! Ill keep an eye on your channel!

I love it! Great video. I'm Peruvian and my dad's side of family is black. Do you plan to explore Chincha area in Peru which has heavy African influence.
Yes, next time we're in Peru we have plans on heading there. Thanks for watching.
As a Blaxican, I especially appreciate this video. I'm a big fan of all your work and travels. They bring back memories and inspire future destinations.
Really glad you appreciate it!
Shout out my brother.. from guadalajara jalisco mexico
NO SUCH THING AS A BLAXICAN
@peter-panwannabeafricans7209 mexican is a nationality not race.. any race could be mexican just like ant race could be american.. and yes ..there are black mexicans as there are also white , brown and mixed mexicans
Guess I don't exist, then 😂
This was a beautiful episode. What an amazing way to build bridges to connect cultures and become family ❤
Thank you!!!
@@TheYarbros Southern Kingdom of Israel Judah so called Blacks and The Northern kingdom of Israel scattered because of the Curses in Deuteronomy 28
Isaiah 11:12
“And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.”
NO, NO ,NO. this are MEXICANS. they have indigeneous bloodlines as well, this guys are INMIGRANTS from MURICA LAND. not family.
We traveled from the state of Colima to Santa Rosa Oaxaca back in the eighties, and that was the first time I met Afro-Mexicans. I have a four-year-old granddaughter who is Afro-Mexican-American and I love her very much.
Sounds like a fun trip. I bet your granddaughter is easy to love! Best wishes and thanks for sharing🤗
I can't wait to explore the more diverse parts of Mexico. The USA as inflicted SO MUCH FEAR with the Cartel related news.
It is definitely worth a dive. Loving the people and the lifestyle in the less popular areas of Mexico.
That’s just all US propaganda bro , visit and be respectful and you’ll see how nice it actually is, the people who end up dying here, majority, are assholes and entitled people doing dumb shit , if you’re respectful and aren’t acting like the shit, you’ll be okay brother.
Their goal is to make you belive that their army came to destroy all this for a good reason. The US government is evil.
I am Mexican who lives now in the US and I have friends from Veracruz Mexico who are Afro Mexican and we see all of us the same people but the minute you move to the US its where you get contaminated with racist hate, its a shame, we are all somehow descended from Africa routes, the history of Africa its so beautiful and people would never understand how much we have in our daily lives from Medicine, math, art, science etc I could go on and on, I am so proud to be multicultural.
Wow. You were instantly welcomed and ya'll was sitting there talking like you had been friends for years. Reminded me of what it was like here in the 70s.😥
Yes, it really is like that there. There is an awakening going on in that area. The community, the schools and the militant children really impressed us. Preparing the directors cut to release on Patreon later today...
I don't know if I am correct but it seems that some how you guys seem to be searching for little bit of your roots that have been totally forgotten in the U.S...! You are no longer tourist, you have become educators and I love it , I was not aware of such a town in Mexico, Thank you! Thank you..! keep on trucking...!
Still tourists but definitely getting what we want to get out of our travels and bringing everyone along with us. We love so many different aspects of traveling...connecting with our roots is definitely one of them! Thanks for flowing with us!
Awesome maybe we'll visit the isle.@@SextaRaza
Curiousity made watch from Zambia, central africa. Very huge dose of knowledge i ve gained from this video. This is a huge gap in western media coverage of mexico - very deliberate to erase these people. It was emotional to listen to dance performed as tribute to their ancestors👏 rythm at 16:00 was close to sega songs in Mauritius (an island in Indian Ocean)
Thank you for stopping by. Yes, a lot of Mexicans don't believe that there is an Afro population that is Mexican.
@@TheYarbroswhat do you mean?! It's even called the third root
ik this and the Filipino 4th Root but I am telling you what hits our comments. @@erikcastillo2454
@@TheYarbros stop insinuating we're racist please. Mexicans of African descent are not discriminated against and are treated with respect here. At the same time, it's also a fact they make up 1pc of the general population, that is not my opinion nor i'm belittling them, it's a fact. 1 out of 100 is a small part, hence you don't hear much about them. It's statistics, not opinion. Are you familiar with M'Balia, Kalimba and Johnny Laboriel, and Giovanni dos Santos, could you please elaborate who they are? I find this narrative from people from the US trying to label racist everyone and everything is divisive and rude.
Yes I agree with you. That is what I said in my original comment. Look on google the Olmec culture our mother culture in Mexico ‘ the oldest’ the resemblance looks African.
I think this is one of your best videos. Reminds me of southern culture in the rural areas. The people are nice. Here in America, we are so guarded, but the people you visited seemed genuinely nice and happy to host you.
It is a different state of mind here...much less guarded and much more relationship based. We've been in thouch with them almost everyday since we shot this video.
En todo México la gente recibe a los extranjeros y hasta los mismo mexicanos de otros estados con mucha amabilidad siempre con los brazos abiertos tal vez esta cambiándo un poco debido a la inseguridad que existe ojala algún día vengas a México saludos desde tehuacán Puebla México

It's beautiful!
Watching this filled my heart with an overflow of joy…so beautiful!!! Thank you both for your divine spirits shared wherever y’all go✨.
Loving your affirming words! We appreciate your support and appreciation of our work.
Brother and Sister, Thankyou!!! They treated you like you all had the same last name, and that’s what I’m talking about!!!
They really did....and then invited us back for more. Loved it!
most afro mexicans have integrated into the mexican culture and have mixed. I can tell u that until recently i didnt know i had africanblood in me, there clues with certain features from various family members..
Yes, I hear that your story is not unique. The Afros have been integrating for centuries. Most if the people we talked to were Maya and Zpotec...parents from all over Mexico but somehow they ended up living there. Very interesting.
Same here, and proud about it!

Great video, thank you for showing another aspect of Mexico.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was sooo beautiful! Loved the vives!! ❤❤😍🥰
Thanks!
This is the Mexico that the average Mexico don't want us to see. They want us to believe that Mexicans are only Indigenous or Mestizo. But Mexico once had a significant black population that most was lost in the war. Even their first president was Mulatto, what we considered Black as Barack Obama.
They definitely have a significant and simmering afro population.
Thanks to love from the current president of Mexico we are learning more about costa chica y Guerrero Chico. Gerrero is named after a Mexican national hero of black skin. I love it my brothers! Viva the Afro community!
Thanks bro! I just did a video on Vincente Guerrero and Gasper Yanga. Check it out if you get a moment: th-cam.com/video/YO54HKhokjY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=CDFWMzoYUwRE5_ne

También en Mexico abemos personas de piel oscura y es un orgullo ser moreno 👤
Beautiful!
It's great they are embracing the part of their ancestry that is African. This is long overdue. Excluding blacks immigrating to Mexico in recent years, the majority of "Afro-Mexicans" are mostly Amerindian (50-70% depending on the region), so I hope they don't exclude or lose touch with that side as well. They should embrace ALL of who they are.
As many shared with us they learn all about the Amerindians portion and nothing about their African side in school and it's that African side that stigmatizes them in Mexico. So, we are delighted to see our brothers and sisters if the African diaspora connecting with their roots.
Love it! You had so much fun!
Ohh, so much fun!
Wow!!! Thanks so much for sharing this!

I found out about
Black People in Mexico,
Because of a
Famous Afro-Mexican Bass Player
Named Abraham Laboriel.
He's played on Thousands of
American Music over the last 50 Years.
Then, Recently I started researching on
Black Mexican History.
Nice to see you traveling to their Culture.....
It's nice to be getting some measure of understanding.
Abraham Laboriel isnt afromexican, he was an afro-honduran, afromexicans are the descendants of colonial africans who came from Africa into Mexico. You do not go calling Cardi B African American for being born in the USA and her identifying herself as black, shes an Afro-Dominican American, its the same with Abraham Laboriel, he is not Afromexican because he has no lineage from the African slaves of Mexico, his African lineage comes from Honduras
Mexicans in this video aren't black.
They do not have dark skins.
Such great content. Keep it up.
Thank you!
YO SOY DE GUERRERO, Y ME DA GUSTO SABER QUE SE SIENTEN EN FAMILIA.
Gracias!!!
Great video! As a Mexican I cannot with those people that claim or suggest there's no racism in Mexico. Not only they sound naive but are a big part of the problem. Historically, AfroMexicans have been discriminated against since the colonial era. Not long ago, the Afro Mexican identify wasn't even recognized by the federal government. And there are so many expressions within our every day language, that are so normalized that most people don't realize are rooted in racism.
Appreciate you fam! Thanks for watching and understanding.
I totally agree with you
Mexico is extremely racist with my Afromexican people, particularly Mexican inmigracion. Just recently, in the Mexican state of Oaxaca, in a region where Afromexicans are extremely rare, a white Mexican ticket agent didn't want to sell bus tickets to my Afromexican boys that I had brought up from Cuaji to get work. He claimed they were illegal aliens and NOT Mexicans, and so his racist little self wouldn't sell them tickets. Fortunately, as they were minors, I was carrying their birth certificates and their CURP to prove they were Mexican. Can you imagine an american ticket agent demanding to prove that a passenger is American before they sell them a ticket? Later on, at an inmigracion checkpoint, a female INM agent boarded the bus, and wanted to remove one of my darker skinned boys, saying that he wasn't Mexican. He then pointed to me telling the agent that I was his boss, which then she turned to me, an older, white, american-looking person. At which, she promptly left the bus without saying another word. As mentioned in the video, many of my darker Afromexican friends have told me that they too have had to sing the Mexican national anthem, to prove to the authorities that they were Mexican.
That’s true, I am agree.Vicente Guerrero was killed because they did accept a Black President.
