Mexico's African history. In this video, I visit several historic sites like the Olmec Museum, Yanga, and an afro-descendant community in Oaxaca Chacahua Mexico to learn more about the black people that live in Mexico and its African history.

Xalapa Museum of Anthropology is located in Xalapa Veracruz Mexico and is the largest collection of artifacts from the Olmec civilization, the mother culture of Mesoamerica.

Yanga Mexico is located in the southern area of the State of Veracruz, Mexico, named after Gaspar Yanga, the cimarron leader who in 1609 resisted an attack by Spanish forces trying to regain control of the area. Yanga Mexico is also known as one of the first free slave establishments in the Americas

The Lagunas de Chacahua National Park is a national park located in Oaxaca and is also the home to a fishing village where a large percentage of the Villagers are Afro Mexican descendants.

Researchers at the University of Houston have developed a fentanyl vaccine that prevents the drug from reaching the brain of rats. They hope to launch human trials for it next year.

Jake Blount, a banjo scholar, explains.

Jake Blount has built a career out of understanding the banjo’s connection to Black American folk music. In this video, he walks us through the instrument’s history — from West Africa to enslaved people in the US to the early record industry — to explain how Black folk music has evolved.

For example: The early record industry confined Black musicians to “race records” and white musicians to “hillbilly records.” Hillbilly music would have been early country and string band music. Race records restricted Black musicians to blues and jazz genres. Which meant Black musicians playing bluegrass-style banjo weren’t recorded — even if they were responsible for teaching white musicians.

Using field recordings, their own banjo and fiddle skills, and a deconstructed version of one of their own songs, Jake explains how Black musicians have long been left out of the current canon of folklore recordings and American folk music history. And what he’s doing to keep the tradition alive, with fresh observations and a musical style that looks both forward and backward.

This video was filmed on location at Hancock Shaker Village in Pittsfield, Massachusetts.
