"My husband and I traveled to Panama for a brief vacation. Before leaving, several people asked why we chose Panama over more popular destinations in the Caribbean or Costa Rica. I’m so glad we went with our gut! We went in July, which is the rainy season, but we were lucky and got great weather. We didn’t know what to expect, but had a really great time.   

AfroLatino Travel did a great job explaining the best way to get around the city. My favorite part of the trip to Panama was hands down the day trip to Portobelo and Isla Grande. I don’t think we would’ve made it without AfroLatino Travel's help. The trip is easy, but some parts are informal and a bit tricky with limited Spanish. They explained everything we needed to know about how to rent a car, make the two hour drive, and where to catch the ferry to get to Isla Grande. The local people in Portobelo run the ferry and provide an inexpensive and reliable ride to the island. The beautiful beach is relaxing and truly worth the trip. We also got to see Panama’s beautiful countryside and met wonderful people along the way. 

If you are thinking about visiting Panama, go! The people are friendly, the food is great, and with AfroLatino Travel's help, you can navigate away from the city and experience some great hidden treasures."

Central America, a narrow, mountainous, and largely impoverished stretch of land spanning seven countries, is a surprising and under-exposed Latin American musical hot zone. The region’s bizarre and tumultuous history has led to a fascinating mix of cultural influences – Spanish conquistadors, British pirates, and American banana companies have at one time or another vied for power. Add to this mix presence of large indigenous enclaves, Anglo-Caribbean migrants, the Afro-Arawak Garifuna and Mosquito peoples, and the many musical influences of the Caribbean, and you have the makings of a very interesting musical tapestry. Salsa and merengue, soca and calypso, reggae and reggaeton – it all comes together in Central America. In our program, we visit Panama, a little known musical treasure trove. Here on the ithmus, music from around the Americas mixed together in a unique stew: American, Cuban, Colombian,Jamaican influences combine to form a highly complex and unique musical culture. We’ll hear interviews from Spanish reggae star Kafu Banton, Afro-Spanish linguist John Lipski, traditional Afro-Latino princess Marcia Rodriguez, dancehall youngbloods Los Rakas, and many more.
