DJ Heightz Paranda mix 2022

Paranda is both a Garifuna rhythm and music with Arawak and African elements which utilizes rhythmic ostinatos in duple meter. Similar to punta, the paranda is a slower rhythm than punta. It's known as the anthem genre of the Garifuna community and reflects Spanish influences. Traditionally, the guitar is played in paranda and not in punta and its melodies are soulful lamentations.

The music style originates from the 19th-century arrival of the Garifuna people to Central America, where they blended their traditional music.The style has spread to places where the Garifuna migrated, but the highest concentration of population and use of the music/dance style persists in Belize, Guatemala and Honduras.The Latin-American influence of paranda is seen in its use of serenade and solemn social commentary accompanied by acoustic guitar. Garifuna parandas speak of issues relating to men. Also unlike the Venezuelan genre, Garifuna parandas are not traditionally accompanied by string instruments and bands, but instead use a single guitar and voice with rhythm support. Supporting rhythm is typically provided by two drums, which is usual for secular music. The base drum, called the segunda, provides the beat and the smaller drum, called the primero, is used for flourishes to lead the dancers.
