Martha: Here’s another song for ETO to consider at some point: Naguye Nei by Paul Nabor, a venerated Garifuna singer from Belize. This is a paranda which implies a particular rhythm on the pimero and segundo drums (an example here, of a traditional paranda where you can hear and see the percussion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rBEywJ5NAc ). In Nabor’s song, the guitar follows the primero rhythm as well. The song is a very sad one, but many people might not think so because of the seemingly upbeat sound of it. Recording, lyrics, and English translation are here: http://www.warasadrumschool.com/naguya-nei/ . I chose this particular one since it includes not only drumming and singing, but guitar and harmonies and hence is more inclusive of the entire ETO.
