Taíno Culture & Traditions
Exploring the spirituality, music, crafts, and language of the Taíno people
Areytos are ceremonial dances and songs that tell stories of creation, ancestral heroes, and important community events. Each movement and rhythm carries deep meaning in the transmission of cultural knowledge.
Taíno music uses instruments such as the drum, maraca, flute, and güiro. These instruments create rhythms that connect with the pulse of the earth and guide dancers in movements that honor the ancestors.
