The Garifuna Rhythms conversation will consist of a dialogue of the threads of the African diaspora across the Americas, with a particular focus on the evolution of tap dance and how it may relate to Afro-Latin dance. More specifically, Gerson Larson will explore the distinctive customs and native art forms of Honduran culture, and the possible commonalities that connect the African diaspora across border lines. At the heart of this conversation, I hope to engage and spark an interest for Garifunas’ unique history and culture in music and dance.
