special blacks
celebration. and whites has
its origin
in the fusion of
multiple
cultures and
expressions, the
Andes,
the Amazon and
the
culture of the
Pacific.
The carnival of
blacks
and whites was
born in
the 16th century
in the
year 1546. This
fact
characterizes it
and
differentiates it
among
other similar
things,
starting with the
date in
which it is made,
which
has a distinctly
indigenous
origin, which
coincided with
the
celebration of
the Luna,
which keeps the
reminiscence
with the
rituals performed
by the
Pastures and
Quilacingas,
agricultural
cultures that, at
harvest
time, honored
with
dances to the
moon,
and in other
rituals they
prayed to the
sun, to
protect their
crops.
Its origin was a
"asueto"
to blacks,
originated in
the Gran Cauca,
the
region to which
Pasto
belonged. In
1607 there
was a rebellion
of slaves
in Remedios,
Antioquia
that caused
panic
among the
colonial
authorities. This
event
was
remembered by
the
large black
population of
 Popayán who
demanded a day
of rest
in which they
could be
truly free. To
preserve
social peace, the
Spanish Crown
granted
on January 5.
In addition, it
was
declared in 2002
Cultural Heritage
of the
Nation and in
2010
Intangible
Heritage of
Humanity
