Punta

Punta is a vibrant and rhythmic music genre that originates from the Garifuna people of Central America, primarily found in Honduras, Belize, Guatemala, and Nicaragua. Characterized by its infectious dance beats and rapid tempos, punta uniquely blends African and Indigenous Taino influences, often featuring lively drumming, maracas, and other percussion instruments. Vocal performances typically illustrate rich folklore, social themes, and personal stories, often sung in the Garifuna language. Artists like Los Roland's, Garifuna Kids, and Andy Palacio have popularized punta by merging traditional sounds with modern instrumentation and styles, ensuring its cultural resonance and evolving appeal.
