This is the culture performed, not explained. The Dibasei Cultural Show puts local Garifuna artists in front of your group for 30 minutes of live drumming, dance and song, the traditions that have held Garifuna communities together for generations. You hear the primero and segunda drums played the way they’re meant to be, watch the dances that answer them, and taste Garifuna food alongside the performance.
It’s the counterpart to the hands-on tours. Where the drumming workshop puts an instrument in your hands, the show hands the stage to people who have played and danced these rhythms their whole lives. Good for families, groups celebrating something, or anyone who wants the music without the lesson.
Q750 covers a group of up to 5. Larger group? Contact Dibasei and they’ll sort a price for your numbers.

Price Excludes
A private 30-minute Garifuna performance for your group, drumming, dance and song by local artists, with a taste of Garifuna food included. Q750 covers up to 5 guests, and larger groups can inquire. It’s performed for you at the Dibasei office, and it runs on request rather than a fixed showtime, so book ahead.
Arrive at the Dibasei office at your booked time. The performers open with the drums, move through the dances and songs that carry Garifuna tradition, and you’ll have Garifuna food to taste alongside. Thirty minutes, performed for your group.
