Afro-Latin Americans are individuals of African descent who live in Latin America and the Caribbean. This group includes people from various countries, such as Brazil, Cuba, Colombia, and Dominican Republic, among others. They often have a rich cultural heritage that blends African traditions with local customs, languages, and practices. The history of Afro-Latin Americans is marked by the transatlantic slave trade, which brought millions of Africans to the region. Today, they contribute significantly to the cultural, social, and political landscapes of their countries, influencing music, dance, art, and cuisine, while also facing challenges related to discrimination and inequality.
