Detail

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.
