The drummers in Garifuna dancing
The Garifuna settled along the Atlantic coast of Central America after being forced to flee from the Caribbean island..Garifuna communities mainly live in Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua...The Garifuna people have others dance such as wanaragua, coropatia, paranda and many others. The elders are the ones who maintain many of the ceremonies,and oral traditions.. they retain the Punta dance. it is a dance where people form a circle around two dancers a male and a female, and two drummers playing a drum. The drummer must play the drum describing the dancers steps... There is nothing like Garifuna dance among any of the other ethnic groups of this hemisphere.

We are a mix of African descendants and indigenous peoples who came about more than 200 years ago in the island of San Vicente. said garifunian man.
