📝 INTERVIEW | Culture and Resistance: The Palmarito Afro-Descendant Commune Afro-Venezuelan communards on the southern shore region of Lake Maracaibo discuss the intersection of culture and organization. The Chimbánguele drumming cycle around San Benito of Palermo is not only a religious devotion but also a way of learning leadership, collective responsibility, and self-governance. While men lead the drumming, women take part through the Gaita de tambora, using song to tell stories, critique, and celebrate, ensuring their voices are central in the community. Culture here is both memory and organization, a living practice that anchors communal life. 🔗 Read the full interview here: https://shorturl.at/Cy0Yr #AfroVenezuelans#CommunalandWorkingClassResistance#Communes
