The Garifuna Dance

     Dance is very popular in Honduras. Most notable are the Garifuna people, who live along the North Coast and practice the Punta and the Wanaragua dance.
    The Punta, also called bangidy is the most well-known dance in Honduras and its originated from West Africa. This dance performed between a man and a woman, shaking their hips and moving their arms to a throbbing sound made by two drums.
    The Wanaragua is a warrior dancing. This dance tells the story of Garifuna soldier disguising themselves as women to avoid being attacked by British colonizers. This is a very flashy dance and characterized by strong knee and open arm movements.

  7. Today, I went to the beachfront with my kids. I found a
    sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She
    placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit
    crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go
    back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but
    I had to tell someone!

  13. Wouldnt a Wanaragua dance honouring Barauda, wife of Chatoyer, Sastuye, make more sense with the face of a brown complexion woman from Yurumein rather than the face of a white moustached foreign?
