Enslaved Africans in New Spain made significant contributions to its economy, primarily through labor in agriculture, mining, and domestic service. They also played a role in shaping the cultural, culinary, and musical landscape of the region, influencing aspects of language, music, dance, and religion. Additionally, some enslaved Africans were able to gain freedom and achieve social mobility through skilled trades and entrepreneurship.
Africans lived in Spain for over 700 years before Columbus's voyage to the New World
Enslaved Africans coped through doing their best to retain as much of their roots as possible. This was done partly through song, dance, and story-telling.

From africa to the new world
The Atlantic Ocean.
The dislocation of Africans through the transatlantic slave trade led to a decentering among some enslaved Africans by breaking their connections to their cultural and social structures, creating a sense of displacement and loss of identity. This forced displacement often resulted in the development of new forms of community and resistance as enslaved individuals sought to find connections and meaning in their new environments.
Enslaved Africans are people from Africa who were forced to give up their freedom and spend their lives obeying and working for their "owners," or masters. Enslaved Africans were treated as property that could be bought and sold.
Enslaved Africans were taken from the "Rice Coast" of Gambia and Sierra Leone. Rice was little known in the Americas at this time, and was a lucrative business in the Lowland areas.
Europeans used enslaved Africans for forced labor in plantations, mines, and households. Enslaved Africans were exploited to generate wealth for European colonizers through the production of crops like sugar, cotton, and tobacco. Additionally, they were involved in building infrastructure and providing various forms of labor across the New World colonies.
They were enslaved because they were black or because debts. And also they understood how to farm, resistant to diseases, easy to buy!
They blended their languages, cultures, and religions to create something new.
