About Me

English:
Punta is a type of music found primarily in Honduras, Guatemala, Belize and Nicaragua.According to certain scholars[citation needed], punta is the contemporary electronic offshoot of an ancestral rhythm and dance of the Garifuna people of Central America, performed during celebrations or festive occasions, with links to West Africa and an ancient rhythm called Bunda, or "buttocks" in the Mandé language.Musician and visual artist Pen Cayetano and the Turtle Shell Band introduced this new genre to the world in 1978, at 5 Moho Street, in Dangriga Town. Pen fused traditional Garifuna instrumentation including the garawon (drum), rattles, and turtle shells with modern electronic instruments. His lasting legacy, however, lies in his lyrics, which gave the political, social and economic issues of the Belizean Garifuna people a global platform, and along the way inspired a new generation to apply their talents to their own ancestral forms and unique concerns.Today punta musicians in Central America, the US, and elsewhere have made further advances with the introduction of the piano, woodwind, brass and string instruments.
We also help promote up coming events From the East coast, West coast, Down south, you name it! Mostly from New York, California, Texas, Florida. Through out Central America Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Panama And also in some Caribbean Countries as well.

Punta es un tipo de música encontrado sobre todo en Honduras, Guatemala, Belice y Nicaragua.Según ciertos eruditos [citación necesaria], la punta es el vástago electrónico contemporáneo de un ritmo y de una danza ancestrales de la población Garifuna de America Central, realizada durante celebraciones y ocasiones festivas, con acoplamientos de África occidental y a un ritmo antiguo llamado Bunda, o " Nalgas" en la lengua de Mandé.El músico y el artista visual encierran Cayetano y la Banda de Shell de la tortuga introdujo este nuevo género al mundo en 1978, en la calle de 5 Moho, en la ciudad de Dangriga. La pluma fundió la instrumentación tradicional de Garifuna incluyendo el garawon (tambor), los traqueteos, y las cáscaras de la tortuga con los instrumentos electrónicos modernos. Su herencia duradera, sin embargo, las mentiras en sus líricas, que dieron las aplicaciones políticas, sociales y económicas la gente Garifuna Beliceña una plataforma global, y a lo largo de la manera inspiraron a una nueva generación que aplicara sus talentos a sus propias formas ancestrales y preocupaciones únicas.Hoy los músicos de la punta en America Central, los E.E.U.U., y en otras partes han hecho otros avances con la introducción de los instrumentos del piano, del woodwind, del latón y de la secuencia.
