The Garifuna are the descendants of Caribe Rojos Indians who occupied certain islands of the Lesser Antilles before the arrival of Christopher Columbus, as well as runaway and shipwrecked African slaves. Also known as Black Caribbeans, they represent one of the most unique fusions between African groups and indigenous cultures of Latin America. \nMusic plays a fundamental role in Garifuna culture. The traditional musical system bears witness to this dual African and Amerindian heritage, the product of a cultural recreation resulting from a tortuous historical process and ethnic and cultural hybridization. Despite the pressures of numerous forced exoduses and the insidious process of modernization and emigration which threatens the bases of their culture and their ethnic identity, the Garifuna have managed to keep their music and their religion alive within a political reality and often unstable economy. Through them it is still possible to collect the most "authentic" part of their culture
