Witches who steal your soul by embracing you, councils of blacks and mulattos, secret dances, dances of blacks during religious festivals and games of all type, prohibited drums, demons of resistance, communities of runaway slaves, parties of mulattos, mulattos dressed up as women, singing instruments-these are some of the most important cultural manifestations of the black and mulatto population in the Kingdom of New Granada. However, they share with other social sectors (Native Americans, Spaniards and mestizos) their own processes of constructing a wide array of colonial cultures, shaded by regional spaces and their own historic, social and demographic dynamic. This article, then, takes as its primary axis of investigation an analysis of the make-up of that which, provisionally, I will call black and mulatto culture. To achieve this, the research will be shaped by theory of colonial culture. Later, I will focus on the field of the transatlantic stages as a fluid scene of the African Diaspora, and I will attempt to recuperate the African dimension of this Diaspora. |
