Afro-Colombians (Spanish: Afrocolombianos), also known as Black Colombians (Spanish: Colombianos Negros), are Colombians of total or predominantly Sub-Saharan African ancestry. Colombia has one of the largest Afro-descendant populations in South America, with government estimates being that Afro-Colombians make up about ten percent of the country's population.[6] In the national censuses of Colombia, Black people are recognized as three official groups: the Raizals, the Palenques and other Afro-Colombians.
