Introduction:

Colombia has the second largest African descendant population in Latin America.
According to the census of 2005, the government estimates that Afro-descendants make up
10.6% of the total population. This is 16% down from the government's previous
estimations in 2002, which put the total Afro-descendant population at 26% and which is
the figure still currently used by the United Nations. Census figures also continue to be
disputed by Afro-descendant leaders such as Luis Giraldo Murillo Urritia, ex governor of
the department of Choco, who claims that the Afro-Colombian population is as high as 36-
40% (Dollars & Sense, 2007).

African descendants are present in every major city in the country. It is thought that there
are 1 million living in the capital of Bogota. Coastal regions of Colombia can have Afro-
Colombian populations that are as high as 90% as in the case of the Pacific, or 60% on the
Atlantic coast. The department of Chocó is the most African descendant state, followed by
Magdalena (72%), Bolivar (66%), and Sucre (65%). Southern Valle, northern Cauca and
Uraba have 65% black populations.

Over 70% of blacks live in urban and peri-urban areas. In this fragile ecosystem Afro-
Colombians are peasant farmers (campesinos) and see themselves as the natural custodians
of the country's biodiversity on which they depend for their subsistence and the
maintenance of their cultural identity. Afro-descendants practice crop diversity while
delegating animal husbandry and other agricultural tasks to the indigenous Embera, a
relationship which has led to tension as pressure on available land increases.

The Colombian Department for National Statistics (DANE) has recognized that there are
four distinct Afro-Colombian groups in the country and that two of these speak their own
native languages. ‘Bande' is spoken by Afro-Colombian communities who live on the
islands of the Archipelago of San Andres, Providencia and Santa Catalina, and
‘Palenquero', which is spoken by the communities of San Basilio de Palenque, recognized
since 1603 as being the first free settlement of the Americas. According to DANE (2005)
this first free settlement has also been declared by UNESCO as being an international
cultural heritage site.
