  • A powerful performance talk, Josh Arana tells us the story of how drumming taught him the value of women in the Garifuna culture, and women on a whole. Joshua Arana is a proud graduate of Ecumenical High School in Dangriga. As a child, he was always passionate about his drums. He loved drumming so much that it got him into trouble many days for playing on the desk.
    He made a career out of his passion and today that career has landed him in over 20 countries all over the world to places like Japan, Germany, France, Spain, Ireland, and Switzerland. His drumming led to his current job as the Coordinator of the Stann Creek House of Culture. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    Absolutely love this. You made me smile. Even though I'm still getting to know my Garifuna you made me even more proud of where I came from, giving me yet another reason to love and embrace my roots . ❤ Seremein

    My brother Josh Arana reaffirms how Garifuna culture and society are united with other non-abstracted realities of cultural and social roles in my country, Ghana. Josh, in so short a time your message teaches and redirects u s on how to reteach ourselves. Thank you.

    Excellent job Josh!!!! I’m very proud of your accomplishments in bringing that academic perspective to the Garifuna culture.
    For your next 15 minutes presentation, would you mind doing another video which would include more scholarly references, such as, calling out the names of those unsung or forgotten Garifuna-artistic-predecessors who had done so much with their cultural contributions for the Garinagu people?
    In doing this, you would be assisting with documenting a well deserved Garifuna History that could be used for elementary, high school, college, and university student research projects.

    I think every drummer should watch this. This is a way to deepen the passion one has with this instrument and actually to understand it. I love how the parts of the drum are explained, and how this highlight that we are tied, that we are connected to each other. Being passionate about something, though knowing one is passionate and how passionate one is, does not necessarily mean that the passion is actually understood regardless of how beautiful this is. Nevertheless, besides analyzing and understanding this passion, Joshua Arana guides us through a process of introspection, and even self-discovery for those of us who love the beat of the drums. Great job. Greetings from Puerto Rico.

    Very enlightening Josh. As much as I am immersed in the culture you shared some knowledge that I was not aware of. Gundatina bau! Owebu seremei niya bun!

    I maintain that Josh should have rose to the ranks of the lead singer for the Garifuna Collective, not taking anything from Lloyd but his cultural expressions and understanding is outstanding. Enjoyed the presentation.
