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 🇵🇷 🇨🇴

Were You Listening? Track 21: Party de Palo (English)
Party de Palo is the first single of Inka's upcoming album Villa Mella, in which he pays homage to this historically Black place in which Inka grew up in the Dominican Republic. In Party de Palo, Inka invites to party along the rhythms of Villa Mella while he reminds us with his lyrics of the incredible cultural richness that Black communities hold.
Our guest host is Inka himself, who contextualizes the song and tells us about the reasons why he decided to create the album Villa Mella.
Were we listening?
This episode accompanies the single Flow Caribe which contains the extended interview we had with Inka a couples of months ago.
We hope this track helps to add value to your listening and awareness in your dancing!
