Afro-Venezuelans (Spanish: Afrovenezolanos), also known as Black Venezuelans (Spanish: Venezolanos negros), are Venezuelans who have predominantly or total Sub-Saharan African ancestry. Afro-Venezuelans are mostly descendants of enslaved Africans brought to the Western Hemisphere during the Atlantic slave trade. This term also sometimes refers to the combining of African and other cultural elements found in Venezuelan society such as the arts, traditions, music, religion, race, and language. According to Harvard University, Venezuela has the largest Afro descendant population in Latin America after Brazil.
