Recently we spent some time in Livingston, Guatemala and Hopkins, Belize, known cultural hotspots of the Garifuna. The Garifuna language and music are currently listed as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, but these traditions are in danger of disappearing.

Language is the medium by which we articulate the world, and our place within it. In an age of globalization and mass extinction events, more than half of the world’s spoken languages are currently endangered and likely to become extinct.

If you would like to support the Garifuna and the people in this video, buy their music:
