HOW WE GOT TO PIANGÜITA BEACH
It all started at the Buenaventura dock where we boarded a boat to Piangüita Beach thanks to our friends from the National Navy and Sandra Garcés from Fundaproductividad, who again put us in contact with Siber Cambido, community leader and logistic producer on the third day of expedition. Thank you all!
Siber, who welcomed us on the beach, had everything ready for us: characters, production base, food and hydration, in short, better cared for impossible. He was not only that perfect host in the territory, but someone who believed in Appellation of Origin.
This is how Piangüita Beach received us
Siber Cambindo is part of the Community Council of Black Communities in Bazán Bocana and is a forerunner of caring for the environment, its beaches, the mangrove ecosystem and responsible tourism. He is also, connoisseur of the traditions and guardian of them, like Margarita Hurtado, our star.

PIANGUA AND MANGROVE ECOSYSTEM
Margarita Hurtado, cultural leader, mother head of the household, pianguera, teacher of the Despertar del Folklore group, poet and singer; She gave us her time by letting us know the traditional trade undervalued by many and admired by those who know her. Pianguamos with her in the mangrove swamp.
Walking towards the mangrove ecosystem
While Margarita told us myths, legends and collected piangua, we all listened, took notes and did different tasks. We made three recordings behind the scenes, shot some other material and did the 360º.
We recommend the tour of Piangüita Beach and the 360º Mangrove Ecosystem. Enjoy it!

After our magical moment in the mangrove enjoying the company of Margarita, it was time for the famous Fish Sancocho (traditional fish soup) prepared by Francisca Renteria, better known as Doña Pachita, she told us about her love for cooking and traditional trades. She is recognized for being one of the first inhabitants of Playa Piangüita and she explained how over the years the beach has changed.

Being born and dying in the territory are events that for the Afro and Indigenous communities have a very strong spiritual connotation that is manifested socially. That is why this episode has focused on the cousin, brother or friends farewell … Enjoy the podcast of those songs. People that sing to life and death!
Remembering each step through the Colombian Pacific, we share that first meeting with Hugo Candelario, in Cali.

Nidia Gongora, friend, singer, cultural leader and teacher, is a woman with whom we have built a friendly relationship since the first day she met APPELLATION OF ORIGIN: COLOMBIAN PACIFIC. A great woman to whom we owe a lot. Thanks Nidia!
This was a memorable moment. Nidia signed us the compilation of SALGAN RÍOS DE MIS OJOS Y CIELOS OIGAN (Rivers come out of my eyes as heaven listens), inspiration for this podcast.
That same day I left with a complete KIT: The last CD andLP of Mar y Río of Canalón de Timbiquí, an album with which they were nominated for the Latin Grammy Awards 2019, produced by Llorona Records and Fondo Acción and also with the genuine Viche Curao made by Viche Positivo.
