Translated from
angostura-antioquia.gov.co:
"The colours Yellow and Green of this flag are distributed
in horizontal stripes in equal proportion. The yellow means the
gold wealth of the region. The green means the fertility of its
fields, abundance and territorial extension."
Jairo Alonso Méndez Méndez, 17 November 2007
A variant of the flag of Angostura was displayed during a broadcast of H13N
tv news. The flag featured the plain flag with
the coat of arms in the middle, as seen in this image:

http://www.angostura-antioquia.gov.co/municipio/nuestro-municipio).
The official description of the symbols is as follows (translated from the
original, in Spanish):
"Flag:
Yellow: stands for the gold found in
the region
Green: stands for the fertile grounds, abundance and extension of
its territory
Coat of Arms:
The coat of arms displays several elements
of the Antioquia people. The economy is represented in coffee, sugar cane,
fruits and cattle, which also represent its hardworking people altogether. It
also displays the coat of arms of the Eusse familiy, with its most important
representative,
Beato Mariano de Jesús (colloquially known as "El Beato Padre
Marianito". Poetry from Porfirio Barba Jacob, Francisco Jaramillo Medina and
others, is also included in the lira around the coat of arms. The cornucopia
stands also for the gold found in the region."
