Chombo
A Panamanian term for a person of African descent, especially descendants of the West Indian workers who came to build the Panama Canal in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The word carries complex historical weight: some use it as a source of cultural pride and identity, while others consider it derogatory. In Panama, context, tone, and who is saying it to whom defines everything.
