PALENQUEROS AND ALVIN AILEY DANCE COMPANY

COMPARISON
Their music and dancing move them to still climb for their freedom and fight against exclusion. In their own particular way, both groups try to show or express their African folklore, rhythms and history.

CONTRAST
Palenqueros music and dance are more natural and autochthonous; their rhythms are more native and less elegant than the Alvin Ailey dance company's ones. Alvin Ailey Dance Company use more musical instruments, more designed customs and more choreography than Palenqueros in Colombia.
