Oral tradition is a cultural expression that collects generational narratives and is an exercise in memory through the spoken word. In the case of Guapi, oral tradition is a fundamental element of the ancestral culture of Afro-descendants in Colombian Cauca, which contains epistemic, axiological and pragmatic elements of the culture of the Pacific region. This study was carried out using a qualitative approach, specifically using documentary analysis as a methodology. Relevant documents were collected that addressed oral tradition and ancestral values ??in the municipality of Guapi, Colombia, especially in the context of the Afro-Colombian community. These documents included previous research, government reports, academic texts, and historical sources that provided information on local cultural practices and traditions. The documentary analysis made it possible to identify patterns, trends and key characteristics related to the oral tradition in the region, as well as its influence on the cultural identity and value system of the community. The results of this study provide important elements so that, from public policies and the chair of Afro-Colombian studies, ethno-education is strengthened and the cultural wealth of the municipality is duly estimated. On the other hand, this study leads to reflecting on customs and traditions that exist in a town; a legacy that weaves together every day ancestral knowledge that, when collected, strengthened and shared in the school context, invigorates pedagogical practices. Therefore, it is essential that the school be the setting where culture is created and recreated so that it lasts over time and transcends generations.
