- We are back with more black history! This time we're in Argentina in South America! You have heard the saying: 'There are no black people in Argentina'. This couldn't be further from the truth! At one time up to 50% of the population in some regions was Afrodescendant. The population was dramatically reduced in the 19th century due to three main factors: war, disease and racist government policy. But it wasn't wiped out completely and there is a proud Afro-Argentine population to this day! Have you heard of the fearless Afro-Argentine Independence fighter Maria Remedios Dell Valle? How about the black chef who pioneered Argentinian cuisine, Antonio Gonzaga? And of course one of the most famous Afro-Argentines from history was the renowned musician and payador Gabino Ezeiza. Even the Argentine Tango has African roots! Let's dive in and take a look at Afro-Argentina history, culture and contribution.
