description Taking an ethnography developed between 2015 and 2016as a starting point, this article offers a description of theelements that compose the backdrop for the artistic andcultural manifestations of an Afro-descendant community inthe municipality of Girardota, Antioquia.In this way, we conclude that there is an inseparablebond between this community´s participation in political andcommunity organization scenarios, and the ethnical characterattributed to their artistic and cultural manifestations.We priviledge a focus that understands thesemanisfestations as a vehicle for historical, social and politicalreflection. This implies exposing how, after the Constitutionof 1991 and with the implementation of the multiculturaldiscourse in Colombia, population of African descentreformulates its ethnical identity to establish a differentialrelation with regards to its history of slavery and servitude.

Tomando como punto de partida una etnografía realizada entre 2015 y 2016, este artículo ofrece una descripción de los elementos que componen el escenario de las manifestaciones artísticas y culturales de una comunidad afrodescendiente en el municipio de Girardota, Antioquia. Por este camino, llegamos a la conclusión de que hay un lazo indisociable entre la participación de la comunidad en escenarios políticos y de organización comunitaria, y el  carácter étnico que se atribuye a sus manifestaciones artísticas y culturales. Aquí privilegiamos un enfoque que entiende dichas manifestaciones como un vehículo para acceder a reflexiones históricas, sociales y políticas, exponiendo cómo, tras la Constitución de 1991 y con la implementación del discurso del multiculturalismo en Colombia, la población de ascendencia africana reformula su identidad étnica para establecer un vínculo diferencial con su historia esclava y servil. En prenant comme point de départ une ethnographie entreprise entre 2015 et 2016, cet article offre une description des éléments qui composent la scène des manifestations artistiques et culturelles d’une communauté afro appartenant à la municipalité de Girardota (Département d’Antioquia). Cette approche nous permet de conclure qu’il existe un lien indissociable entre la participation de la communauté dans la vie politique et l’organisation communautaire et le caractère ethnique que l’on attribue à ses manifestations artistiques et culturelles.Nous privilégions ici une approche qui conçoit ces manifestations comme une voie d’accès à des rélexions historiques, sociales et politiques. D’ailleurs, c’est dans le cadre de la Constitution de 1991 et de la mise en pratique du discours du multiculturalisme en Colombie que les populations afro reformulent leur identité ethnique ain d’établir un lien différentiel avec leur passé d’esclavage et de servitude.
