Fabian Altahonea Romero is from Barranquilla, costa atlantica de Colombia and runs the Africolombia blog (chech its youtube channel too).
In Barrio Kennedy, the neighbourhood in south Barranquilla where he is from, they used to organize verbenas (outside popular parties) during the carnival season. So from the late 70’s to the early 90’s, he saw every year this parade of the greatest picos passing in front of his house. This strongly influenced him and gave him his passion for that culture. When he was a child, his favourite one was “El Rojo The Cobra Barranquilla”. There are even 2 facebook groupes for that pico called “Quien no bailo con El Rojo La Cobra De Barranquilla” and Rojo Mix La Cobra Barranquilla.
