Black Day, observed on January 5 in Pasto's Blacks and Whites Carnival, commemorates a brief respite of freedom granted to enslaved people during the Spanish colonial era. This tradition emerged from claims and resistances against slavery, linked to King Melchor. Over time, it became part of the carnival through dances, drums, and the game of painting faces with charcoal.
