Colombians apparently love African music.

A question about that.

I hear a lot about Brazil having the largest black population in the Americas, but only 7% of the country identifies as black. That's only about 14 million people. The rest is either white or mix (pardo). Where does Brazil having the largest black population in the Americas come from?

As for colombia, it's the third largest after us and Brazil.

@Malta, @horse. kills could you chime in?

It's the fact there are millions more black people that aren't self identifying with being black, you got some obviously black people on that "I no black" shyt as well. They are becoming more aware of what they are, the black population increase is outpacing the actual black birth rate there, so more people are realizing what they are. Also, a lot of people who would be classified as "Pardo" in Brazil would be Black in the US.

I think Colombia has the largest black population in the americas after Brazil

They do, Quibdo in Colombia is something like 96% black.

Afro beat music has a pretty decent sized following overseas. Not so much in 'Murrica' though.

The only time i heard an Azonto song aired on the radio is during the Reggea/west indian hour

Why do you lie

Care enough about beach cacs liking our music brehs. Talk about it like it's an accomplishment brehs.

It aint beach cacs, its Black Colombians whom love and supported the music

Soukous, Highlife, etc are very different from Afro-Beat

I was mostly referring to afro beat.

I dont know too much about soukous so i cant say much about it.

There's no such thing as African music. Africa is diverse G.

uh the term doesn't imply there is one type of music but that it's music that comes from Africa.

america - if you're not 100% white you're black
brazil - if you're not 100% black you're white
