moreWitches who steal your soul by embracing you, coztncils of blacks and mulattos, secret dances, dances of blacks during religious festivals and games of all type, prohibited drz~ms, demons of resistance, communities of run- away slaves, parties of mulattos, mulattos dressed zrp as women, singing instruments-these are some of the most important cultural manifestations of the black and mzrlatto population in the Kingdom of New Granada. How- ever, they share with other social sectors (Native Americans, Spaniards and mestizos) their own processes of constructing a wide array of colonial cultures, shaded by regional spaces and their own historic, social and demographic dynamic. This article, then, takes as its primary axis of investigation an analysis of the make-zrp of that which, provisionally, I will call black and mulatto culture. To achieve this, the research will be shaped by theory of colonial culture. Later, I will focus on the field of the transatlantic stages as afluid scene of the African Diaspora, and I will attempt to recuperate the African dinzension of tlzis Diaspora
