Taino music
Taino music reflects the cultural heritage of the Taíno people, indigenous to the Caribbean, through traditional songs, rhythms, and instruments. It often features percussion instruments like drums and chimes, creating lively, rhythmic patterns that evoke community rituals and storytelling. The music serves as a means of cultural expression, spiritual connection, and social cohesion, blending natural sounds with vocal chants. Although much of the original form has evolved or diminished, modern influences and efforts aim to preserve and celebrate Taíno musical traditions, offering insight into their history and identity.
