  • @buttercup5773 what is the purpose os junkuno?

  • @verrrr1 I'ts a west African tradition, it was practiced by enslaved Africans on this side of the world. They had a yearly festival around christmas-time, they wore various masks, that had meaning and represented something to them. they beated the drums, a lot of dancing, food etc. similar to the mardi grau in New Orleans USA,

    look it up on google, it will explain further, thanks for asking. lol

  • @katrachovago Oh please,don't be ignorant? Jonkuno is an african tradition. The ancestors brought it to many countries in caribbean,South & Central America, NOT just Honduras it's called different names,Bahamas &Jamaica call it Jonkuno, Bahamaians have a huge 2 day festival in Nassau every end of year. thanks for telling me Hondurans celebrate it. Do they tell anansi stories? the clever spider & rabbit tales? that's from Ghana, told in Suriname, Jamaica & Belize. living proof wer'e all related.

  • @katrachovago don't be so narrow minded to your own country. Did you know that is performed as well in Bahamas, Jamaica, North Carolina, Belize as well in Honduras? It spread to the English speaking Caribbean island centuries ago. It is said that this dance is from the Efik/Igbos tribes of E.Nigeria but I suspect it may originated amongst either the Wolofs or Malinke tribes of the Senegambia.

  • LOL @ willie bounce

  • @sweetreggaeprincess this is where willie bounce came from!
