00:01Africa does not sound to a single rhythm.
00:12Do you know one of the most common errors to refer to the African continent
00:16is to reduce its diversity to a single one?
00:19Although it seems obvious, in reality it is not.
00:24Here the question is...
00:26Why?
00:27A country with more than 30 million kilometers and 54 sovereign countries,
00:31with different histories and different traditions,
00:33can be reduced to a homogeneity.
00:35Simply because the cultural diversity, historical,
00:39and social of 3.000 groups of ethnic groups
00:42influenced the formation of other cultural communities,
00:45such as, for example, our Latin America.
00:47Africa speaks in more than 2.000 languages,
00:49with which narrates its vision of the world and transmits its legacy.
00:52South African countries
01:02are quite different.
01:03Africa is not a good continent.
01:04Africa is not a poor continent,
01:06but a territory of the countries.
01:07Africa no suena a un solo ritmo.
01:11Los pueblos han sabido combinar el sonido de la tierra con la de los hombres,
01:17a través del balad senegalés, el náhuatl del norte, los coros sulúes del sur o los tambores yorubas.
01:23Sus sistemas espirituales son complejos y profundamente filosóficos.
01:28¿Los entendemos?
01:30Allí el bodú, el ifá o el bantú cuentan desde el pasado,
01:36el presente y el futuro.
01:38Pero todas estas características se enfrentan a un problema mayor.
01:42La necesidad de reivindicarlas pese al eurocentrismo
01:46que busca seguir ahogando a la región desde lo neocolonial.
01:50Si bien sus pueblos son libres, dicen algunos que el continente vive su segunda independencia.
01:54¿Sabes por qué?
01:56Sígueme y te cuento.
