ABSTRACT
This paper will examine the work of ChocQuibTown with regards to their approach to race and auto-determination, and how their music works both to shape and reflect the image of collective identity in the Chocoano region of Colombia. Looking at social, legislative and political ethnicity, it will address the various ways in which ethnicity can be defined, and how ChocQuibTown encompass each of these. It will then address the fusion of influences that come not only from within Colombia, but also from the African roots of the afrocolombian people, as well as from other pats of the African diaspora, which come together in the music to create a unique sound that speaks to and for the Afrocolombian community of Chocó.
RESUMEN
Este documento examinará el trabajo de ChocQuibTown con respecto a su enfoque hacia la raza y la auto-determinación, y de cómo su música funciona tanto para dar forma como para reflejar la imagen de la identidad colectiva en la región chocoana de Colombia. Desde el punto de vista de la etnia social, legislativa y política, se abordarán las diversas formas en que la etnicidad puede ser definida, y cómo ChocQuibTown abarca cada una de ellas. Más adelante en el documento, se expondrá la fusión de influencias que vienen no sólo desde el interior de Colombia, sino también de las raíces africanas de las personas afrocolombianas, así como de otros caminos de la diáspora africana, que confluyen en la música para crear un sonido único que habla de y para la comunidad afrocolombiana de Chocó.
