Arabs in Colombia?! 

Hey people, thank you for watching, hope you enjoyed it as much as I did making this. Don't forget to subscribe (and turn on the notifications bell) as I've got plenty more content coming that I think you'll enjoy. Peace!

In Colombia we love the Arab community, its culture is very present in us, many Arabs came here. My grandfather was from Lebanon, everyone is welcome to Colombia

Wow this guy switches from English to Arabic to Spanish so easily

يارب ترجع اوطان العرب بخير وامان ونعيم ويرجع حبايبنا العرب للاوطانهم وهم بصحه وسلامه محبكم من السـعوديـة

I'm Iraqi and I speak Spanish and I have a lot of Colombian and Latinos friend here in Montreal Canada. They're super nice people, good vibe. I would love to visit Colombia one day!

Omggg I love this! I was born in the US but both my parents are Colombian, and I lived in Colombia for 6 years before moving back to the US. My dad’s side is Arab.. they migrated to Colombia in the 1940s from Palestine. I love that you’re bringing awareness to our heritage♥️♥️♥️

We are many. I am one of them. Raised in Colombia. I Lebanese. I am Colombian. ❤️

Loved the Egyptians good vibes which is very typical 🇪🇬 I also love Colombians! I’ve personally interacted with both Arabs and Hispanics, in particular Colombians and it’s very true their hospitality, heavy family oriented culture and overall friendliness is very similar to each other and I’m from Guam 🇬🇺 (pacific islander) we have the same aspects in my culture as well ❤️❤️❤️

How crazy my father is Colombian and my mother is Arab 💯❤️

Proud of your Spanish my dude! So cool to see how many Arabs are living in Spanish countries

I love this video!! All Arabs are welcome in Colombia 🇨🇴❤️ btw, Malak is gorgeous 😍😍

I want to go to Columbia now! I enjoyed this. I didn’t realise there’s such a big Arab community there

Amazing interview brother, I’m a Caleño living in the US but I guarantee that Colombia will always open its arms to the world. We don’t discriminate and actually love integrating different cultures and experiences to our Nations Culture. And I can also guarantee that we love Arabs! 😂❤

This is very cool. I’m Iraqi dating una colombiana in the us. Looking forward to visiting Colombia one day 🎉

we have so many arab with yemeni particularly hadrami desendent here in Malaysia. Sadly Most of us don’t speak arabic anymore because we have adepted to local culture.... many still married to each other but those who didnt mostly does not have arab features anymore...

The funny thing is that all the Iraqis this guy interviewed belong to the same family. Hussam, the guy he interviews in 0:14, is married to Riyaam, the girl in 0:20, and Malak, the girl in 0:44, is Riyaam's younger sister. Actually I know this because that family made it to the news three years ago when they arrived in Colombia by mistake after some people smugglers told them that they were going to take them to the USA in a ship but they left them in Buenaventura, Colombia. The family ended up moving to Bogota, and were granted a refugee status. A year later, Hussam flew to Colombia to be with his wife and he also got the refugee status under the family reunification program. I am happy to see them all in this video and see that they are doing well!

After 3 min of watching I love it! Great job and thanks for showing us these nice stories!! 💯

تحياتنا للجالية العربية في كلومبيا من المغرب حافظا على لغتكم و تعاملوا مع الناس بمعاملة طيبة .

I think it’s not just in Colombia, but generally, Latinos are very welcoming. We embrace those who are like us and those who are different. Both Arabs and Latinos are very family, food and tradition oriented so it’s extremely easy for us to get along.

Many Colombians have Arab relatives and/or ancestry. I had two uncles who were half Lebanese-Colombian. Sadly, they passed away years ago from old age. Also, you can eat couscous in Colombia. It has become part of Colombian gastronomy.

1:40 it's not weird because there are many colombians whose parents, grandparents, or even great-grandparents, came from Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, though they're very integrated and practically indistinguishable but by name, they remain one of the important minorities that exists in this country.

شكرا لك اعطيتنا فكره عن هذا البلد الجميل وانطباع العرب المقيمين هناك اخطط لزيارة هذا البلد

شكراً لكم على هذه الحلقة الرائعة !! عمل جبّار من طاقم القناة، و تحيّة للعرب أينما كانوا !

What an awesome episode. Thanks for reminding people of the important role of Arab migration especially from the Levant to these countries

Saludos kulana arab, que bien por colombia recibiendo la cultura arabe, y enriqueciendo la cultura nuestra con sus aportes, saludos desde Cali, Colombia. 🇨🇴👍🌍🌎🌏

So interesting. My last name is Amar. And my father’s family is from Barranquilla, I am believe we’re one or two families (or just the one family with the surname). But it's so unclear where we originated from. The family has been in Colombia from before my 3 or 2 great grandfathers. I was born in 1985.

I like these types of interviews Bravo Aleik!

Ayyy, you speak Iraqi Arabic, UK English and Spanish like me, فيدو حلو

My great great grandfather was a syriak syrian. His name was Menjura (Menhura) or at least it was an adaptation of his name. I suspect "Khure" is in it.

Wow Hamza, that's brilliant interview - nice 1 mate.

My family comes from the north of Colombia I see where I get the thick eye brows and sudden cravings for hummus

"كولومبيا تحب العرب"🇨🇴🇨🇴❤️🇨🇴🇨🇴

الشعوب الاتينيه بصوره عامه فيهم تشابه مع العرب وهذا بسبب الاختلاط بينهم حيث عاش الرومان فترات طويله في الشرق الأوسط قديما وعاش العرب فترات طويله في الأندلس سبانيا والبرتغال لذلك الاعراق تختلط كذلك العادات والتقاليد وهذا امر ليس بغريب

goddamn iraqi arabic is easily the strangest sounding dialect but i love it

Assalamualaikum Hamza h. Great video. I'm from Malaysia. I really appreciate if you can make a videos comparison between العربية الفصحى & اللهجة العراقية. I study a bit arabic and somehow I love to listen some arabic dialect.

It's wonderful to hear "It's Miriam" from and Iraqi woman :D btw I'm Polish :)

this was fascinating, thank you for this video. i feel for the iraqi diaspora who had to relocate so far away, but i'm happy to hear they are adjusting and settling.

I'm Palestinian and I have some Colombian friends i got to know them from work . They are really amazing and cheerful people.

Salam IM Algerian from France and I have lot of Colombians friends and I liked this video. I told them there are like Arabian people.i ll go there inch Allah I have to see that beautiful country

Great video

Araber in Kolumbien als ein Film finde ich sehr gute Idee. Danke dafür. Interessante Infos und vor allem sehr interessant ist das Verhalten der Kolumbianer zu den arabischen Migranten. Als Migrant / Araber und nicht praktizierender Muslim seit 1973 in Deutschland lebend bin ich echt neidig geworden. Denn meine Bilanz für Migration in Europa sieht nicht so großartig aus.

Great vid! Best regards from a Jordanian in Canada... Planning for a visit to Colombia hopefully soon when the virus is behind us 👌👍❤️

Muslim community in Barranquilla also and mosques in Medellin. I love Colombia 🇨🇴

Muy bien !! Thanks for this episode. تحية للعراقيين والعرب المقيمين في كولومبيا

للأسف لم تستجوب أي مغربي(ة)لانهم جالية قليلة العدد هناك في كولومبيا تحياتي لكم من المغرب🇲🇦 me encanta su país Colombia🇨🇴

Shakira is Arab Colombian to

keep doing what your best at, much love man and stay safe ❤🧿💎

i grew up in NJ in a half hispanic half arab town. alot of the lebanese people grew up in colombia, palestinians from venezuela. in an place like that u realize v quickly that america isnt the only place people migrate to

Countries of Latinamerica with more arab community: 1- Brasil 2- Colombia 3- Argentina 4- Venezuela 5- Mexico 6- Chile 7- El Salvador

Love to Columbia🤍 from Iraq/Denmark

Currently I'm learning Spanish because i'v been really interested in Latin America and this video made me wants to visit Colombia so bad!❤ me gusta esta canal btw👌

Loved this video and it’s great to see this channel growing. Legit got me hyped to visit Colombia 🤙🏽

Wonderfuuuuuuul dear friend veeery well congratulations

Nice video ! Well done. Also, you've got me practicing Spanish again ✌🏼

Im actually really surprised 😮 I didnt expect that Colombia is a nice country and all. Now you really made me wanna go and explore it. Thanks for the video

MashAllah! I'll be travelling to Colombia in November InshaAllah and I plan to visit the mosques and the muslim community while there!

Great video! Thanks for sharing. ✊

Yep, lots of Arabs here in Colombia and we have a good opinion of them, they have a good reputation as traders and usually become wealthy in a few years. I have a first cousin who is literally called Yussuf Maloff whose grandfather was Lebanese. Most are of Lebanese and Syrian descent and came here because they were christian opressed by the Ottoman Turks. So far we have no problem with the new Sunni Arabs that are arriving lately, people here like Arab food and are quick to forget about religion as long as you give us a bit of that tasty falafel and kibbeh ;)

Very nice, I love it so much, well done

my parents are Colombian, my dad side is Lebanese descent

Great video, keep up the good work!

Bienvenidos todos ❤️

J'aime beaucoup la Colombie surtout la ville de Medellín la ville du printemps éternel que j'ai visité plusieurs fois je suis de desandence arabe,j'ai l'intention d'aller vivre là-bas viva colombia

Shukran for this video

one of my great uncles moved to argentina and he’s from Oman

another fantastic video. thank you.

I'm American but both of my parents are from Medellín. My family had the opportunity to live in Saudi Arabia (Jeddah). I love the Arab world and support Palestine 100%!!

Buen video, alguien sabe si hay grupos o reuniones de Arabes en Colombia, para conocer gente y socializar con Arabes, o las redes sociales de la gente que aparece en el video? Shukraan!

Dude is a polyglot like it’s nothing in three languages

Although as it happens i, myself, am not Arab - am actually of Irish/British/French ethnicity - i do personally like Arabs [ ...whom i've known/i know] very much, needless to say ({: \ ; also, i find many [Arab people] to be exceedingly good-looking - and soooo many of *t h e * m e n,* absolutely goooorgeous, tbh, i simply MUST 'admit' ({; > ...!!! ~Marvellous - and, fun - video, for sure, **Kulana Arab*;* do stay healthy, you-and-yours, please ({: D ...!!

a7len bro, la mayoría de árabes en Colombia están en el Norte, en el Caribe, se come comida árabe como si fuese local. quibbe, falafel, sismismiyeh, un motón de arroces, como el de almendra, fideos, lenteja, también el labneh y algo que se llama suero costeño, y es basicamente labneh más liquido, así como pasta de ajonjolí o hummus por nombrar algunos. hay centros comerciales, almacenes de cadena, y restaurantes árabes en cada esquina, hay clubes y hasta colegios. btw, interesante reportaje, y sí, la mayoría de árabes somos de origen libanés, seguidos de sirios y palestinos, la gran mayoría en el caribe. ojalá llegues aquí al norte alguna vez y observes la cultura árabe heredada, y visites Maicao, una ciudad de mayoría árabe musulmana. saludos

Nice video Bro im from iraq living in Medellín about 2 years any body live there ?

That one guy speaking Spanish knows his history!! Damnnn boi

Beautiful and gorgeous 🌹

bienvenidos a colombia

Very educational I had no idea that there was so many Arabs there. I like many people think of Columbia as drugs crime etc. so nice you showed different side. I guess I will have to put that country on my bucket list. Thank you

I would trade my Canadian citizenship to live in Colombia. Anyone can help me get info as to how to get there would be amazing.

También son colombianos.

ادرس العربية ف روسيا. فيديو جيد!!! حلوة😅

انا ارجو العربين يبني المدرسة العربية في كولومبيا منذ الاءن المدرسة الإسلامية والعربية

A friend of mine appeared in this video

if there are many Arabs in Columbia, does that mean you have Shawarma restaurents by now? I know the Arabs in Mexico made (Al Pastor) so I am curious.

well done 👏👏👏👏👏

keep it up bro

العرب شعب متحضر وطبعه اجتماعي وبيحب جميع الشعوب عكس الاروبيين والاتراك عندهم عنصرية

سلام نحن نحب قناتكم

حلو

Just a question for my Arab people in this channel. I'm Colombian from Medellín. A lot of people in Medellín looks Middle Eastern For example Maluma). Mostly all people who immigrate here where Christian from the middle East. Somebody told me is because they were prosecuted. And they scaped from Muslim. Is this true? Not offending. If somebody knows more about it, feel free to comment... Love middle Eastern food, women too 😊...

Arab diaspora in Wikipedia 3,500,000 colombianos originally from Arab moriscos 😂

ربي يحفظك ❤️ 💖

The real secret is that Arabs are related to the Columbians and also other Hispanics period 👳🧕🤔🤨🙄🕌🇸🇦🇨🇺🇨🇴🇨🇱🇧🇷🇩🇴🇲🇽🇵🇷🇵🇸

👌

Bro, Where can We meet them. are there arabs food available.
