San Andres Island, Colombia (2002)
Few people have heard of these Colombian islands. It remains true and Anglophone Caribbean, Slow and sleepy. The entire island canbe surrounded in a motorcycle in less than an hour. On one side the horizon hides the motherland, Colombia. Land full of confl fromits deepest bowels. On the other side farther still lies Africa, red earth that these quiet inhabitants carry in their DNA and from whichthey were brutally torn away. Memory engraved in their dark skin. And in the middle of these two reali- ties, these Afro-Colombianslive in harmony with nature.

Poca gente ha escuchado hablar de estas islas colombianas. Es el Caribe puro y anglófono. Lento y adormecido. La isla entera se puede rodear en motocicleta en menos de una hora. A un lado
el horizonte esconde la madre patria, Colombia. Tierra llena de conflictos desde sus mas tiernas entrañas. Al otro lado el horizonte de África, mas lejano aun, tierra roja que llevan en su ADN estos habitantes tranquilos y de la que fueron brutalmente arrancados. Memoria grabada en su piel oscura. Y en medio de estas dos realidades estos afrocolombianos conviven en armonía con la naturaleza.
