The Garifuna Jazz Ensemble Comes to Metro Baptist Church
by Stephi Wild - Feb 7, 2018

Later, due to their continued resistance and rebellions against the British, their mixed progeny would then be exiled to the islands off the coast of Honduras. Instead of being isolated and dying off, their culture and oral language prospered and expanded into the Central American countries of Honduras, Belize, Guatemala, and Nicaragua, where they still live.
