Paranda
Paranda is both a Garifuna rhythm and music with Arawak and African elements which utilizes rhythmic ostinatos in duple meter. Although similar to punta, paranda is distinguished by its faster rhythm and its incorporation of guitars. Paranda mainly focuses on the struggles that occurs in the Garifuna community and emphasizes melodies that contain soulful lamentations. Stylistically, it reflects Spanish influences.
