Where is The African Diaspora Stronger? Latin America or English America?
 

Which kept their African derived cultures the most?

You seem to want to provoke a flame war. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/laugh.gif

It's an interesting question, right?

Why the poll question says "More Afrocentric"

Same thing as diaspora

Keeping our African culture is not the same as Afrocentrism.

Let's leave the semantics for another discussion.

I think no one will discuss as the answer is obvious.

How is it when it's subjective?



How does LA have a stronger African diaspora?

Aframs have their Afro influenced music, but ours is more "tradish"

Reggae and calypso?

Calypso is more tradish, reggae is modernized.

How is it more modernized?

The instruments, they use tech music that I know.

True

Traditional Jamaican music was buried by reggae and Ska.

Umm USA, Canada, Barbados, Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago, all have a sizeable African contribution..

BUT there are lots of countries in Latin America with a little African contribution, such as Argentina, Chile, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Guatemala, most of Mexico, Bolivia, Paraguay, etc.

^^^Most of Mexico? The SSA community is less than 1% of the population. And this population concentrates in the southern coastal regions.

That is what he meant when eh said low African contribution, he meant most of Mexico had little African contribution

We have to agree that ''most'' was not the appropriate word. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/smile.gif

Guatemala does have african contribution, for example in their costal region, theres a black community, i think they speak a different language, i am not sure

I always thought nicaragua had more than just a little

having less than 1% of blacks doesnt mean blacks didnt leave any influence in your country http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/whoco.gif
