The Lost Songs of Wanaragua" José "Tai" Angel Blanco

Wanaragua is a dance performed by the Afro-Indigenous
Garifuna people across the Caribbean Coast of Central America
manifesting a history of resistance against colonizers.
However, due to the lack of standardized Garifuna language
education, the songs are now at risk of disappearing.
José "Tai" Angel Blanco, one of the last people who remembers the lyrics to the songs in his community of Tornabé, explains the history of Wanaragua and the effort to pass the tradition on to the next generation.
This series aims to record these songs and the people
who sing them so the tradition lives on.
