@@celdur4635 I'm Peruano American and the racism in my country (USA) Is a disgrace and shameful. Latin Americans love each other unlike here were we are extremely divided by race.
I've been a huge fan of Afro-Peruvian music for a long time. I am very impressed with your Diaspora work concerning Afro- Latino's. When the COVID 19 comes to an end, I am seriously planning to visit Peru in June of 2021. I would love to go on this tour.
Thank you so much for your kind message and for you email! I'm so glad you enjoy my content and it would be a pleasure to have you on the Peru trip! I will keep you updated, fingers crossed it will be safe to travel next year, depending on the situation with the pandemic.
Hassan Bro, let me say to you that you have a exquisite taste for the music ! Afro-peruvian music is incredible! it has soul in its melodies♪ You have to listen Arturo"Zambo" Cavero music and Festejo music.
@@TakittyLove Thank you for your response Jackeline. I was actually able to travel to Peru this June and I did visit the Afro-Peruvian museum in Lima. Unfortunately, it was closed, but I am looking to explore more about the Afro-community there in the future. I am going to look up Arturo Zambo right away. Are you from Peru?
@@oya270 Please, listen to LUCHA REYES, another female afro-peruvian singer, Eva Ayllon, Susana Baca, too. Yes, I am! A proud Afro-mestiza peruvian girl :) Greetings!
@@TakittyLove Thank you so much!! I already have every CD by Susana Baca. Jackeline can you please add me on Facebook. I want to do a documentary on the Afro-Peruvian culture and would love to get in touch with you for details
Thank you so much! My next Afro Peru trip will be Nov 30th to Dec 5th with AfroLatino Travel. If you're interested you can find the itinerary and pricing at www.afrolatinxtravel.com! Thanks again for your lovely comments!
I have inca descent and the afro peruvians are my brothers for life, we were blessed to be born in the same country and we always been together in the struggles. ARRIBA EL PERU CARAJO!!!!
I'm Peruvian and this is a great video , I'm also recognizing that there is a lot to do in our society to open up to our brothers Afro Peruvian population. Hopefully the future for all Peruvian would be bright where our rich country is for all Peruvian. We need to live together for our great PERÚ.
As a Peruvian myself, and afro-descendant as well, I gotta say thanks for your video! I just want to add though, that I´ve never felt discrimination in any sense in my country, but abroad. Some people think that joking is discriminating, but in Peru we are joking like that all the time. Every Peruvian knows that our mixture is our strength, all races reunited have made our culture richer. We are colourful, in every way, no race is stronger nor weaker. It´s just like our food, it´s so tasty, delicious, thanks to the richness of its ingredients, the perfect mix of flavours.
I need to see you - before I can say you're of African decent. Are you easily identifiable as black? Or are you mixed race that can easily pass for latina or something else.
Abroad , slavery is still being practiced. It comes in the form of aid to the people in need in the world. Abroad segregations is being practiced through cultural appropriation and other nonsense that divides us.
THANK YOU for making ths video! I am a Peruvian with Afrodescendant roots and I learned from watching this. Thank you for putting this knowledge out there.
Your page is such a gem on this platform... We legitimately are EVERYWHERE. Thank u for taking the time to educate us & aid us in piecing together the expansive jigsaw puzzle that is our ppl spread across this big, blue rock. ☺️✊🏾❤️🖤💚
It is wonderful to see the hidden part of Peru that is not well publicized shown in a appreciative light , people in Peru shockingly don't know they are still black Peruvians left, due to intermarriage and new wave of immigrants from other black predominate countries. We are slowly becoming vastly a minority, even with all the contributions to history/arts, it is quietly being pushed to the side to create a Indian/European narrative to Peruvian history . José Silverio Olaya Balandra was a Afro-Peruvian war hero who was martyred during the Independence of Peru who came from Chorrillos, which many Afro Peruvians lived/hailed from at the time. There is a prominent statue in Plaza mayor that depicts him with Afro-features , but in other forms of media documentaries/history books ( aside from historical texts at the time and at the historian level) they don't mention his Afro roots at all. Which shows the covering up , of the Afro contributions to the country that is now Peru.
Thank you so much for watching! And for sending the information about José Silverio Olaya Balandra. It's an honour to share something of Afro-Peruvian history and culture with my viewers, and I hope people continue to learn about and engage with the Afro-Peruvian community.
The history is far more vast than a lot of people think. Beyond contributions, those people (Afro Peruvians) are descendants of the Aboriginals of Peru. As shown in the book "America Being The Latest and Most Accurate Description of The New World" by John Ogilby 1671 and many other works of the time.
I REALLY love your videos on the African Diaspora in so many countries! Your videos deserve a LOVE ❤️, not a Like. I'm learning a LOT from you! God bless! 🙏🏾 -Jonathan from Sacramento, CA
Afro Peruvians need more representation. They need more help and support. Also very true with andean culture being overused. Like there’s more to Peru then the Andean cultures/Incas. Peru is a melting pot of cultures and not just the Andean culture. The Amazonian Peruvian also lack representation and it’s demonstrated by the regions like Loreto being most affected by the coronavirus. Not to mention the Incas never conquered the Amazon as it wasn’t as important to them like the mountains . Not all Peruvians come from the Incas. I applaud your work 👏🏽
Thank you so much for your encouragement and I am glad the video resonated with you! Through my African diaspora tours in Peru I try to connect travellers with the Afro-Peruvian community and explore a dimension of Peruvian culture that is so often overlooked by the travel industry. Thanks again for watching and taking the time to comment!
In fact, most Peruvians don't descent from the Incas, only the Quechua who are based on Cuzco region although they are found all over the country as well. Each valley has a unique indigenous culture, both in the Andes and in the Coast. There is so much left to promote still.
@@brandon9874 Do you know Spanish? Although there are plenty of books on the history, the "new" peruvian culture where every aspect of it is not only accepted but promoted is a relatively recent development, it has 40 years but i would say it only has had a chance to express itself for the last 20 and increasing exponentially (along with the increasing wealth of the nation)
Hi there!!! Excellent video (: but you forgot to mention about the afroperuvian month recognized since 2014 when our Peruvian government established it because of the birth date of Nicome de Santa Cruz, as one of the most representative person of afroperuvian culture🙌🏼 Thank you so much for your investigation!
I am descendants of indigenous Peruvians, but it makes me very happy to know about Afro-descendant communities, I find them very interesting, and I have a lot of love and respect for them. I have many African friends Greetings from Peru
Thank you for this. Yo creci en la selva cerca de Pucallpa. Asi no encontre muchos afroperuanos. Mis amigos eran (y son) gringos, indigenas, y mestizos. Algo que tal vez le interesa a ud es que cuando pase' tiempo con la gente Matses junto a la frontera de Brasil, habia una mujer alli con caracteristicas africanas. Era una mujer capturada pero no se de donde. Se corto su pelo de ella porque para los Matses era mas bonito no tener pelo rizado.
I’m trying to understand the history of Afro Peru because I’m just finding out I have descendants from Peru. So that would make me afro Peruvian I’m guessing and trying ways to understand self

I had no idea there was an African diaspora in Peru! But I looked recently at a group of portraits of Peru at the turn of the century and it was like 25 percent portraits of black people.
This is wonderful. Thank you for your coverage. In your research, have you seen any proof of Mass Black Migration out of Peru into Ecuador/Bolivia/Colombia? My Mother tells me that the Black Communities outside Lima have been greatly decimated due to people (especially younger Generations) seeking economic opportunities elsewhere. I grew up in the US, and want to bring my Sons to Peru to experience and examine their Heritage, particularly their Afro-Peruvian Roots. Hopefully their Heritage hasn’t fled North of the Border and there is still a Community left for them to experience. Also, do you have links to Afro-Peruvian Organizations? Thank you again for what you do.
Thank you so much! I recommend if you come to Peru that you connect with the Ballumbrosio family in El Carmen (a short drive from Chincha Alta). They have a cultural centre which is a stronghold of Afro-Peruvian history and culture. It is Miguel Ballumbrosio and his wife Sylvia who run it. They have accommodation you can stay in too. Well worth a visit! And of course the Afro-Peruvian museum in Lima is in the city centre and free. It's a 10 minute walk from the Plaza de Armas. Also worth a visit!
The best writer of Perú was afrodescendent,name Ricardo Palma,he describes 3 Centuries of peruvian history in His Peruvian Tradiciones,if he would be Alive he would became Nobel,its wise,charm way to tell shorts stories from ancient and modern Peru Is amazing
I’m not afro-Peruvian but my best friend is and when we were kids she was bullied to the point we had to change schools together. Things got better in our new school and now she’s happy and were still besties. In the case of indigenous ppl it is still a problem Bc yeah we marker it and “praise” it but still the more indigenous you look the worst you’re treated there’s a lot of hypocrisy and endoracism here
the most popular soccer team in the country, Alianza Lima is identified with peruvian Afros. peruvians honor San Martin de Porres, the first black saint in the Americas peruvians venerate the Lord of Miracles or Lord of Luren which are strongly associated with Afro culture Singers? Eva Ayllon, Zambo Cavero, Lucha Reyes, Peru Negro Gastronomy? Anticuchos, Picarones, turrones we dance Festejo and honor Nicomedes Santa Cruz we consider Cajon as one of our authentic musical instruments Soccer players? Ufff! Too many to mention: Guerrero, Farfan, Cubillas, Advincula, Ramos, Chumpitaz, Uribe, Velasquez, La Rosa, Gallese, Carrillo, Perico Leon, Munante, etc.
Thank you for show the World wouldn't be anything without are people doing their contributions! My family started in the Bahamas, and I love learning about all that is black excellence. 💕🙏
There sre also many mulatos in Peru abd in the Andes in Peru many zambitos which is indigeous mixed with African. If you livevin Cusco you will see the zambitos which nave curly course hair.
No pude continuar despues de lo que dijiste de San Martin de Porres, "¿santo de los de raza mixta?" Wtf, Se le conoce por impulsar la religión, por su humildad y solidaridad con los mas necesitados, acá en Perú los afrodescendientes son notados, no son vistos como no peruanos, se les reconoce su aporte a la cultura peruana, al igual que cualquier etnia del Perú. Acá somos una mezcla, nadie es invisible, pero si hay racismo contra los descendientes de estas.
My US ancestry is from MS and GA. I always knew I had N.A. ancestry. What is shocking is that I have taken several DNA tests and they have all put me in Peru and Mexico. So, now I'm curious to find out how these people got to GA/MS and why. Something must have happened to the Afro-Peruvian community to cause them to travel all the way from South America to the United States. From what I can understand this happened around 1840. Do you know of any history in Peru where there was a mass exodus? Your video was fun and entertaining. Thank you ❤️. PS I'm AFRICAN-American.
well... I'm afro-mestiza peruvian girl(*mestiza = "mix"ex:europ w/native, asian w/native and europ, etc.) and exactly in 1840, I have not a relevant fact but I have it in 1854 where the President of Peru, Ramon Castilla proclamated the abolishment of slavery since black people had not been free oficially when the Independance of the country(1821) from Spain Monarchy was proclamated. So maybe 1854 could be a date more exactly. Also, after that, the unquiet situation of the country in the social-politics(upsrising for the power,corruption, etc) aspect didn't get over. This could have produced a major fluently the transfer of people from a country to another as inmigrants. Sorry for my bad english. Greetings from Lima city! :)

So, now I'm curious to find out how these people got to GA/MS and why.
Something must have happened to the Afro-Peruvian community to cause them to travel all the way from South America to the United States. From what I can understand this happened around 1840. Do you know of any history in Peru where there was a mass exodus?
Your video was fun and entertaining. Thank you ❤️.
PS
I'm AFRICAN-American.
well... I'm afro-mestiza peruvian girl(*mestiza = "mix"ex:europ w/native, asian w/native and europ, etc.) and exactly in 1840, I have not a relevant fact but I have it in 1854 where the President of Peru, Ramon Castilla proclamated the abolishment of slavery since black people had not been free oficially when the Independance of the country(1821) from Spain Monarchy was proclamated. So maybe 1854 could be a date more exactly. Also, after that, the unquiet situation of the country in the social-politics(upsrising for the power,corruption, etc) aspect didn't get over. This could have produced a major fluently the transfer of people from a country to another as inmigrants. Sorry for my bad english. Greetings from Lima city! :)
