A person from the Greater Antioquia region of Colombia, which includes the modern departments of Antioquia, Caldas, Risaralda, and Quindio. They share a distinct culture, accent, and history centered on trade and mule driving. Nowadays, Paisa is used for anyone who talks or acts like they are from there, regardless of their specific home state. There is a local saying that an Antioquian is born wherever they want, implying that anyone who adopts the culture can be considered one (The region is famous for its entrepreneurial spirit and its very recognizable, sing-song accent).
In the department of Choco, they usually call anyone who is not from there a Paisa, which is explained by the close administrative and transport links that region has with Antioquia.
