San Basilio de Palenque
It is not a big city, or a well-known place but San Basilio de Palenque is a locality of the municipality of Mahates, in the department of Bolivar, Colombia. In San Basilio de Palenque are Africans who escaped at the time of conquest or colony and there are some traditions are still preserved the language, food, dance, and culture.
The music on drums, dances and singers is what most caught my attention. This mansard is located in the foothills of the Montes de María (hills tienne also one Canicón to rate bullerengue), 50 km from the city of Cartagena. It has a population of about 3,500 people; As a township does not have economic autonomy, or administrative.
Hya reiterate that the place was founded by escaped slaves mainly from Cartagena in the sixteenth century and released by Benkos Bioho. The word "arena" refers to the fences erected by the runaway black slaves during the colonial era, to take refuge from his pursuers.
The name of St. Basil, is an arena founded in the seventeenth century by a group of Maroons, under the command of Dominic Biohó, aka, they fled to regain their freedom. The story of the saint of the village (St. Basil), the sculpture was being transported to the town of St. Augustine of white beach, in the passage through the arena got stuck and it was impossible to remove the mud, for palenqueros was an omen and adopted the saint, as the saint of the village.
