We are two Afro-Latin PhDs taking an anti-racist approach to center the contribution of Black people and culture across Latin America, the Caribbean and their diasporas through dance and music.
Our work aims to:
- educate consumers of Afro-Latin and Afro-Caribbean culture on its Black roots
- highlight the work of Black artists, dancers, and scholars across the Americas
- develop a practice of anti-racism in the Afro-Latin dance scene 🇵🇷 🇨🇴

Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This track's song is "Esto te pone la cabeza mala" by Juan Formell y los Van Van. If you have danced to Los Van Van music and thought “they really get me” with the fusion and homage to African influence, it's because they really do get you. It's their deliberate approach.
