So sad to see all of the comments denying the existence of afro-Salvadorians. I'm grateful for this video. My mom is salvi and we took DNA test and we have african ancestry. Its only 10% but it shows up strongly in our hair, my mom's hair especially! She has huge thick curly hair that grows upward. I know for a fact that so many of us have african ancestors but racism and colorism has made so many people feel ashamed or even afraid to think of that being a possibility. I know a handful of other salvi people that have wide noses and thick curls. Just because we're mixed and don't look like someone who is 100% black doesn't mean that we aren't also decedents of african people.
DON'T BE ASHAMED OF YOUR ANCESTOR! NO SE AVERGUENZEN DE SUS ANCESTROS!
It is what, not only El Salvador inherited from Spain but the whole LATAM.
Racism, patriarchy and misogyny. Which brings us to femicide, homophobia, transphobia.
Yea me too I'm from el salvador with black features some definitely have black ancestors and there's no blacks because of a racist president who was in power
10% is actually a lot, wow 😮
10%? That's nothing.
@@azzv.kuskatan in this context it’s a lot for a people who generally believe they have none. That means they had multiple African ancestors.
Yes my dad said there wasn't afro Salvadorans but my mom say there is, and I went to El Salvador early 2022 and met some, its so sad that El Salvador doesn't want to acknowledge them
Most black people nowadays are not Afro but Latinos from the Caribbean. They were born in Latin America, why should we call them African when they aren't African, no family in Africa either, how many centuries for people to still be considered African anyway.
@@azzv.kuskatan Where do you think Latinos from the Caribbean come from? Being born in the Caribbean doesn't erase one's heritage - a mix of African, indigenous and European, which is a well-known and undisputable fact. There are PROUD Afro-Salvadorans in El Salvador who are trying to educate the people on their African origins. You can see them on this platform. Today there is no excuse for continuing your false narrative. If you have access to social media, you certainly have the ability to do your own research to find the truth instead of holding on to antiquated ideas.
El Salvador ethnically, 0.16% are black, 86.3% of Salvadorans are mixed (mixed Native Salvadoran and European (mostly Spanish) origin). Another 12.7% is of pure European descent, 1% are of pure indigenous descent, and others are 0.64%.
They don’t belong there.
@@azzv.kuskatanbloodline
I've met so many Salvadorians and they all say there are no Afro Salvadorians in El Salvador,despite personally meeting Afro Salvadorians.They tell me when they are seen in public they are asked where they are from...really sad plus the treatment they get of invisibility.
They are here but less than 1% of the population, We're the country with the least blacks in all Latin America so they don't get any recognition really.
I think the thing is as a afro-salvadoran I didn’t know I was an Afro-salvi till my father told me grandma was
Black I was in shock because I’m so pale but that answered my question why I could get waves in my hair and my brothers all looking Samoan. I think we salvis are just ignorant about what we are hell some of us who look 100% native don’t think we native it’s sad what the Europeans did to us
@@giomars6682 it’s more than 1% bro it’s in our blood hermano you need to go get tested to see how much u actual are bro you will thank me later and join the afro-salvi club. Have you seen how many of us have actual Afros they literally call it the salvi fro lol
My hair literally grows up and out all wavy and curly. A black co-worker once saw me remove my cap, which I rarely do at work, and he said, "Damn! I didn't know you were a brotha!'" 😂
@@giomars6682 I get that but it's also mainly of the unawareness of El Salvador and hiding Afro Salvadoran existence same with indigenous ppl its actually around 250,000-500,000 Salvadoran that identify as Indigena but El salvador puts them in the mestizo category bcuz thy don't want to give them visibility and only making saying there's no more than 50K when that's far from the truth
I have Salvadorean roots on both sides of my family and have 15 % African ancestry. My mom is light skin, brown hair, green eyes and she has 5%. Her mom who was born in 1922 has 9%. My family on my paternal side are darker and have more recent African ancestors.
I just learned something new. 😊
Anti-Africa is everywhere. Kind of unbelievable but I rather be who I am than on the other side.
It’s more of a European concept they made us forget our native identity also what the Europeans did to us is horrible
It's because in El Salvador there isn't as much as other country's in Central America or South America. Only a small percentage are Salvadorian. There not being racist just because they know the white and black culture isn't there's but they wound up with it in there country not by choice any country in Africa would understand which they have had it done by colonization especially in South Africa

I have two cousins who have dark skin and neither of them wants to accept the possibility they had an African ancestor. One of my cousin is so dark she looks Hindu but she tells people that she is Spanish and Jewish!!! no mention of her Black ancestry nor of her indigenous roots. It is really sad that they grew up feeling ashamed of themselves. The history of africans in El Salvador has been obliterated by political policies and the white ing reforms for over 500 yrs Most Salvadorian are not educated about the own history si they just repeat what their parents taught them " there are no blacks in El Salvador . There are and I hope the legislature recognizes it.
500 years and you still want to call them Africans 🤦
We have way more Afro & indigenous Salvadorans. Probably the same or more as Honduras y Nicaragua. They forced our little country to get HISPANICIZED, which makes us claim “mestizo” I am darkish brown with curly ass hair. We just don’t know it yet which is why we have to have ES hear us so they can teach that part of history to the world too. Y’all think cuz we don’t touch the Caribbean we don’t have “black descendants” bro the other countries in Latin America don’t either but have a population. Connect the lines ‼️💯
keep holding on to that 1%
I did some research, and some say General Martinez kicked a lot of them out. Not sure if this is true though
We have traversed the globe. ✊🏾💯
We celebrate Salvadoran heritage as in general
So glad we don’t have all this division we have here in the USA
Watch one FD signifier video and TH-cam alters my whole algorithm. 😂 I learned something new thanks!
Thank you for sharing!
I LOVE my afrolatina features. I took a DNA and I am 10 percent Angola. My great grandfather was probably half African. My mom says he constantly was discriminated. He did marry a blanca. She was blonde with blue eyes. Hey, she loved him once. She did leave him though, and remarried. My mom said they loved the new wife even though she wasn't blood, she was full indigenous. I really like my thick lips and love that I can wear my hair straight or curly. I wear cornrows, and everyone thinks I am black. I love when I go to the beach and tan fully brown.❤
How do you spell the name of this tapestry?
My grandma one of them
How wonderful! 😍
Bruh, porq this is know worldwide and I didn’t know that ✊🇸🇻🇿🇦
When you talk to Salvadorians in 🇺🇸 and 🇸🇻, we don’t have the nicest things to say about black ppl. I was there not too long ago and did not see a single black person.
El Salvador ethnically, 0.16% are black, 86.3% of Salvadorans are mixed (mixed Native Salvadoran and European (mostly Spanish) origin). Another 12.7% is of pure European descent, 1% are of pure indigenous descent, and others are 0.64%.
I have never met one in el salvador. I guess they exists
If you see a mulato in our modem days that is always a possibility
That does not mean historically or actually in the fabric of the society there is "afro Salvadorian"
Central América split and the few afro descendants stayed on the Caribbean coasts which El Salvador does not have any of.
These days you can find jamaican and haitian immigrants everywhere or their mulato offspring because 99% of the time they always look to mix
They exist, but that guy at :54 is just a mestizo with with curly hair. Idk how long this image of him being Afro will go around I remember seeing him on tw and he just a regular mestizo who let his hair grow out
Have him take a DNA test. He knows
@@daltondrake3118 500 years later, we are mestizo, no need to force an Afro identity just because you say so.
There are not so call afro salvadorean I know I am a native
We are MELANATED GODS.....
Spoke with my Grandma, she's born in 1930, also, she has no recollection of ever seeing one, my mom, born in 1956....so this is just some ridiculous myth that someone started because they noticed we don't have blacks in El Salvador, and never see ONE in history being mentioned, so......let this crap just go away.
How about you accept the fact people have done their DNA test, and can have up to 25% African genes in some cases. You cannot accept that the mulatto and pardo class had been diluted by the 1930s. For anecdotes, my grand uncle's father was a black man from Costa Rica who immigrated to ES somewhere in 1890. Why would he go to a country with no black people under your logic?
You keep coming back here to hate on an entire class and culture of people that have their DNA in our country. Don't bother listening to Salvadoran Cumbia since it's a product of Afro Colombian music. Don't bother coming back to this video so you can convince yourself of facts in a basic DNA test. Accept it and move on. It's no myth when a Salvadoran gets their 23andme done and they have 15% or more African DNA. You're a bigot and carry some self hate. Learn to live with what makes us.
I'm on several DNA sites and have more African ancestry than Salvadoreños I see. I have 15%. Africans mixed with the Natives and Spanish. Just like Americans had children with their slaves. I was told that many Africans were forced to leave in the 1930s. I've traced back my maternal lineage to the 1760s in El Salvador. My relatives lived in Tecapa area which is in the video. In some census records, some are living with enslaved people. Slavery was outlawed in the 1820s. Before slavery was outlawed you can also see how people were categorized, Espanoles, indios, and mulattos. We may not look African but it is in our DNA.
And I guess like the rest of them in Latinamerca, they're just in ONE part of the country because I've met people from all over, and never met one from saying he/she was from the city, mostly in rural areas. Which confuses me because when I see football matches, more than 50% of the players are of African descendants........meanwhile in El Salvador's history............not a single one. Ever. So!!!!!
Luis Ricardo Guevara Mora and Juan Quinteros from the 82 Selecta team were obvious Afro Salvadorans. If you deny that or dont even know about them? Dont claim to be Salvadoran. Keep your self hate and stay in your corner. 🙄
@@NoNo-ng9sl he doesn't need to claim anything, they might be black but not African whatever, 500 should stop them from having connections to Africa. I don't go claiming my connection with Chinese, I'm not a racist American, just a Salvadoran citizen who happens to have Chinese ancestry, that doesn't make me Chinese, neither it make them Afro anything.
@joycem6250 what the flying flip are you talking about? You are racist by believing your own horse sh. If you have Chinese DNA? You have Chinese DNA. If you're a Salvadoran with DNA from Africa and pronounced black features? That's a part of who you are......some of you absolutely wish you didn't own these genes do you? This isn't about being Chinese to you or whatever you're made up mind makes you think that represents.....it's in your genes. It's that simple. Whether you want to claim that or not? Is individually up to you. I'm just amazed how lost some of you are thinking you shouldn't claim your own bloodline. The white complex has royally screwed up Salvadorans. Almost all of us are mixed to some varying degree. Unless you're 100% Lenca or Pipil. We are all mixed. Whether you like looking yourself in the mirrior or not.
Both my parents are salvadorans and i can tell you there is african dna in hella salvadorans. I have 2 brothers with afros, i myself am pale they not incredibly dark but my grandpa was dark skinned and all my uncles are not to mention my mom has black people hair. I myself love the fact it just shows we all connected its cool
First and foremost, there was no "El Salvador" in the 1500s there was just "Colonial" territory and Slaves came from the Atlantic which there is no ports or parts or territory from El Salvador that touches the Atlantic ocean. Besides, "IF" there were any, how come the rest of the continent has "them" but not in E.S.? Easy, the lanscape makes it impossible to walk from the Atlantic to the Pacific, to this date, imagine in the 1500s.
Also, slavery was never allowed in what is not El Salvador, hence the reason why we don't have their kind, not because they were kicked out and if they were? Well, it's because of what I said before. And where were "these" people during the 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70, and 80s, during the conflict? So.......making "history" out of nothing is really not efficient. #2 Central America did not acquire their independence from Spain, but Mexico, so........learn history, the facts part of history, nto the ones "you think" they were.
So where are you getting your facts? I’d love to read them. Slavery was legal in El Salvador until 1542 for natives and 1825 for Africans. The Salvadoran government also recognizes this. Just because it’s ugly doesn’t mean it’s not part of our history smh
Under your logic, why is El Salvador the only country with 0 recognized native tribes and land? Learn your history.
1. There is a statue in El Salvador of a black slave in Zacetoluca. To commemorate the rebellion. There was slavery all throughout Central America.
2. There was once a unified Central American nation. This meant that the Carribean coast of Guatemala to Costa Rica and the interior Indigenous populations were under one country.
4. That short-lived nation didn't last long, and once the oligarchs of each region formed their own nation, the local populations went with it.
5. Brutal and racist dictators in El Salvador forced people to identify more with whiteness. La Matanza, in 1932, ended any form of Native Indigenous identity. About as close to indigenous genocide as you can get. Before that, there were laws that forbid blacks from living in the country. So odds are the self identified blacks left to Honduras or Nicaragua, and the little bit of Afro descendants that stayed thinned out our population further.
Why do yall deny these facts? YOU ARE NOT SALVADORAN. No self claiming Salvadoran would hate on their own roots. And you are an embarrassment to claim to know our history. People like you are probably also the first to put on music like salsa, cumbia, bachata, merengue, boleros, and then act like that music is ours. African influence is in the DNA of every Latin American country. Alongside our Indigenous heritage.
General Martinez kicked them out. I
En El Salvador no hay negros!
i’ve seen a couple when i go
Luis Guevara Mora
Negros puros, por supuesto que no hay, sin embargo históricamente El Salvador tuvo do oleadas de negros que con el paso del tiempo su herencia biológica se fue mezclando con los demás grupos étnicos, los nativos que ya estaban asentados y con los blancos europeos que invadieron el territorio. La primer oleada fue traída por las familias de los conquistadores en los inicios de los 1500 como esclavos y a partir de los 1700 empezó la segunda oleada de negros que se trajeron para sustituir a los esclavos indígenas en trabajos que se requerían mucha fuerza y resistencia como el cultivo de la caña, el añil y posteriormente en la construcción del ferrocarril, esta segunda oleada se mantuvo durante los 1800 y 1900. En todo este tiempo estas poblaciones se mezclaron con la ya existente. Por esta razón hoy en día no hay negros puros si no mezclados y una buena parte de la población salvadoreña lleva los genes de esta etnia.
Y de seguro que vos sos mas moreno y Indio que cualquier de nosotros 😂. Puya gente asi de verguenza.
Exacto, los que se ven son inmigrantes.
there are no black people in el salvador, all people are mestizo, and a large percentage of white people
Uh no. There are plenty of Salvadorans with 25% or more African DNA. The issue is people like you believe "black" means majority black features (dark skin and afro hair). There are plenty of mixed black raced people in ES.
This same identity crisis is in the Dominican Republic despite being obvious black. They are tri racial leaning more into the African end. But there will be an occasional Indio Dominican that carries 20% or more Taino genes. Same in ES with blackness.
Why are some of you dark colochos so ashamed to be triracial? It's embarrassing. Bad enough Salvadorans will make fun of Guatemalans for being very Indigenous looking.
@@NoNo-ng9sl half the people claiming to be black aren't even from El Salvador lmfao just people from darker skinned country's
