This is a traditional saying in certain Spanish-speaking countries, especially in Cuba, which means everyone has a mix of races or cultures in their heritage. Congo and Carabalí are ethnic groups from Africa, hinting that everyone has some African roots.
Examples
- Spanish: No importa cuál sea tu piel, aquí el que no tiene de Congo, tiene de Carabalí.
- English: No matter what your skin color is, here, whoever isn't part Congo, is part Carabalí.
