Colombian Australians (Spanish: colombianos australiano) are Australian citizens who trace their nationality or heritage from the South American nation of Colombia.
Economic problems and violence led to an emigration of Colombians to Australia in the 1980s. Colombians are one of the largest South American migrant groups to Australia.[citation needed] Like other South American immigrants and unlike Central American and Caribbean Hispanic immigrants, Colombians tend to come from urban areas.[citation needed]
Ethnically, Colombians are a diverse population including Colombians of Indigenous descent, Afro-Colombians, Colombians of European descent (mainly Spanish ancestry). However, most Colombians are mix of the three ethnicities.[citation needed]
Cultural traditionsedit
The main musical interests are vallenato and cumbia, Mi hermano y yo Vallenato y Folclore is a traditional folk band that aims to share and preserve these interests in Australia. The vast majority of Colombians are Roman Catholic; younger Colombians are significantly more secular than the older generation. Colombian food is highly varied. Popular dishes are bandeja paisa, sancocho (stew), empanadas (meat-filled turnovers), pandebono (a type of cheese-bread), and arepa (corncake). Like most immigrants raised in Australia some children will seek Australian sports. Another popular pastime, especially among the older generation, is [[parqu�s]].[citation needed]
