Dance of the Mountain People: Indigenous Taino Music
By Roberto Mukaro Borrero
Traditional rhythms and melodies, ancient language, the sounds of the tropical forest - Indigenous Peoples music from the Caribbean island region. A Boriken Taino, Mukaro uses wood (maiohuakan), turtle shell (hikotea), and skin drums as well as flutes (bahio, okarina), rattle (maraka), sea shell horns (guamo), gourd rasps (guahei), chants, and the natural sounds of Mother Earth (Atabeira / Kaguana) to lead listeners on a musical journey to the indigenous Caribbean... This is the traditional style music of the Taino People, the very first "Native Americans" to meet Columbus in 1492.

We need to listen to a wider range of voices. We need to hear from those whose lands and rights were taken away by those who "discovered" them. Their stories, too often suppressed, tell of 500 years of courageous struggle, and the lasting wisdom of native peoples. Understanding what really happened to them in 1492 is key to understanding why people suffer the same injustices today.

Before the day is over,
an Indigenous person will be killed or displaced, simply because he or she has a different culture.

Hola Community
This website was first launched on August 4, 2008 – it has come a long way thanks to you – the community. The premise for this website from its very beginning and which still applies today is to tell the story of my ancestors, the Taino people, in the form of a documentary. I have relied and still depend on you to share your stories and your thoughts to help shape this documentary. You have taught me a lot and we’ve only scratched the surface. This experience – this website – has become much more than I expected and I hope you feel the same as well. It has been a place of trials and tribulations, a place to have a voice sometimes filled with frustration, tears and anger but for the most part a place to rejoice, to contemplate, to think at peace whether you identify as a Taino or not.
I believe that for the most part people do not generally take time to celebrate their successes, big or small….milestones. Let me offer our community some things to celebrate – we have now over a thousand members (think of all the other thousands of people we have yet to meet!), we have been able to bring our opinions respectfully to the table – and its seems like we are actually LISTENING!
I celebrate - realizing that my sole mission isn’t just to complete a documentary – it’s to continue a journey with you. Although we may not meet eye-to-eye or face-to-face – but destiny has brought us here - together. You have been patient with me – you have nourished me – you have guided me – you have literally taken me into your arms and welcomed me into your hearts – I AM BLESSED AND I CELEBRATE.
Hola Comunidad

He confiado y todavía dependo de ustedes para compartir sus historias y sus pensamientos para ayudar a formar este documental. Ustedes me han enseñado mucho y apenas hemos rasguñado la superficie. Este experiencia - este Web site - se ha convertido en mucho más para mi y espero que a sido igual para usteds. Ha sido un lugar de ensayos y tribulaciones, un lugar donde sus voces han sido llenos de frustración y lagrimas pero en general un lugar para disfrutar, comtemplar, pensar en la paz - sea usted identificado como Taino o no.

Déjeme ofrecer a nuestra comunidad algunas cosas para celebrar - ahora tenemos sobre mil miembros (piense en el resto de millares de gente que tenemos todavía encontrarse!)¡, hemos podido traer nuestras opiniones respetuoso a la mesa - y se parece que si ESTAMOS ESCUCHANDO realmente!

Back in July and August of 2005 and at times since then, activists and spokespersons for the Taíno resurgence movement have called for, or have demanded, official recognition for the group from the commonwealth government of Puerto Rico, etc.
What would this mean? How would it be legally defined?
What benefit(s) would result from this?

The map above is an incomplete list of known Taínos, some of which were Caciques (Male tribal chiefs) or Cacicas (Female tribal chiefs) and the locations are not specific but general areas. Taíno society was divided into two classes: naborias (commoners) and nitaínos (nobles).

The chiefs were advised by priests/healers known as bohiques.
