@polkapete --- man, that is a good one -- "christian clothes"... LOL what church do you go to!!! You guys have to come up with better things that that - these responses are comical...
Tainos in nature were naked but all of you forget that with time tainos began to dress up and IT IS ILLEGAL to be naked in a public place in modern days therefore they must find a way to show their culture while still respecting the laws of modern life
@SebastianQuinsella --- no one is wearing peacock feathers in this video - they are all parrot feather that our ancestors wore... No one in this video is wearing fake suede - the guaiukos and enaguas are all made from cotton material which our ancestors called SAROBEI -- Not all Taino were naked all the time - in the mountains it gets colder so there were blankets and types of clothing made --- As for no one knowing what Taino music sounded like - that is an opinion not a fact...
I see most ppl dont know of thier own culture look ppl tainos didnt really dress that way duh but they had to for this cuase imagine a bunch of naked ppl dancing around the place not very diccent right and yes tainos did drums before african slaves came tho they were very different and different sounds and yes they did wear feathers not as much as native americans but yes they wore them
those are Chayanne dress, North Carolina north american tribe, my personnal believe is that some of these group are trying to get federal aid from the U.S goverment land and checks
The Tainos were basically naked & women were completely so until they got married. Then they had to wear an inagua. The men wore them too. This group had to recreate their dress according to today's society in order to not offend & /or avoid getting arrested (as would occur when your naked in public).
If it is coming from the very people, their style of dress can't be wrong.
@hispanicuscorpus - of course your personal "believe" would be negative... So according to you all Indians just want gov't checks... How very racist of you... BTW, the Cheyenne used buckskin not cotton and they were not from North Carolina... Have you ever read a book for goodness sakes!
@Tainotv hey...I am Dominican i know for fact that us, dominican have 15% of the population have taino blood, proven by Pto rican university, our island is 4 time bigger than PR, DR is very mountainus most region,,The Taino is hispaniola most mix with black or spanish colonist,,,now you are trying to sell this hippies story in PR where the island is smaller and somehow a huge real bloodline survive. i say that is B/S you are likely all mix, just like in DR..Check pls
@hispanicuscorpus The same scientist that conducted that test in DR conducted it in Boriken (Puerto Rico) and the result was 65%... Considering the populations it would make the number of descendants about equal in both islands... No one is saying that we are not a mix but many American Indians, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians are mixed too and there is no problem there... Los Tainos Vive!!!
@hispanicuscorpus Mi hermano, lo q pasa es q cuando paso la abolición de la esclavitud, cojieron a la mayoria de los negros y se los llevaron para La Española, Cuba y Jamaica. Y aqui en Puerto Rico quedaron pocos negros. Ahora, si tu vienes pa las costas, no vas a encontrar a ningun tipo indiesito, ahora si vas pa la region montañosa, hay mucha gente con rasgos indios. Y te puedo contar la historia completa pero tengo poco espacio aqui.
@MyUnfamous tu habla en tu primer comentario, como que en borinquen nunca huvo negro, la realidad es que se fueron de puerto rico en los anos 40 la gran mayoria,,,y esto mesclaron con negro afroamericano en los USA..mucho de ello solo llevan nombre o apellido hispano pero no saben de donde rayo salieron
The "National Indigenous Festival" (Festival Nacional Indígena) which honors the memory of Hayuya and the Taino heritage is celebrated annually on November in the town of Jayuya, Puerto Rico. This year will take place on November 19-22 making it the 40th year of this festival. There is a monument of Hayuya, the only one of its kind to be dedicated to a Taino Cacique, located in Jayuya's Cultural Center next to a Taino tomb.
@KhemuLuxons --- you both thought the same because you are ignorant of diverse musical styles across the Americas... The only reason you "smell scam" is that you have an agenda and a negative one at that... You seek to discredit but no matter those who understand will and those who do not wish to understand won't... The music is hear to stay and will continue! Boriken Taino Daka!
@Tainotv This is what Taino dance & music probably looked and sounded like after absorbing African influence. If this is genuine Taino music and dance, then it is much more African like than that of other Indigenous people. Scam might be a bit harsh, these people might genuinely be trying to preserve the Taino culture. Why did you only confront me? Others made far more harsh statements. Whatever type music and dance they are doing, they are doing it well.
@Tainotv Another thing, those native you have on that video are wearing the wrong wrong attire,, wearing Peruvian head gear and leather shirt and pants,,could you imagine leaving in the carribean wearing leather gear. pls get you fact right and stop trying to get goverment money,,the U.S is broke, you need to have some social reponsabilities.
@hispanicuscorpus Es cierto, los tainos estaban desnudos, aveces utilizaban el "tapa rabo" o la Jagua, que tapaba alrente y no tapaba las nalgas. Y aunque suene gracioso, pero es bien comodo usar esa ropa aqui en Boriken.
The music is a scam, that is african rythems. They have no idea how taino music sounds, they are making up shit. Passing african rythems for taino it is obvious if you know anything about music.
How do you know? Do YOU know how Taino music sounds? Your use of the word scam is questionable. The correct word to use in making your point would be "incorrect." Noone is trying to scam anyone out of anything.
@paganramon5 U have to remember Columbus brought Africans to Puerto Rico, which is why we have rhythm, the african and tainos were slaves, this is how they befriended and learned from 1 another. This is what they r showing.
@paganramon5 - hey Pagan, can you scan a copy of your African rhythm diploma so I can write to your school and tell them to take it back... The only scam here is you and your political agenda. We know what group you belong to...
You do nt know what you are talking about...Africans did not use a guahe as well maracas are native instruments...problem is to many people want to tell us the Tainos who we are...so I say again you don't know what you are talking about....Go suck on an egg

People who's true origins are not from this continent...the people who deny us our ancestral right to call this continent our home...People engulfed with envy and unable to see the truth even if it looked at them in the face everytime they looked in a mirror...
The truth is not that Americans are the Blacks and the Whites. I am sick and tired of people that think getting a tribal tattoo or a dream catcher makes them Native...pathetic at best...We are still considered foreign in our own continent...
70% of the Dna in some Mexicans are of Mayans.. That doesn't make them Mayans But the Dependant of Mayans.. So with that said most of the population in Pr Dr and Cuba are descendants of Taino.

What a fraud...typical new-age nativist mumbo-jumbo..
FACT: REAL Tainos were NAKED
FACT: REAL Tainos did NOT wear fake suede loin cloths BECAUSE there were NO mammals to make them from
FACT: REAL tainos did not wear FAKE peacock feathers in their asses because there were NO peacocks.
FACT: WE DO NOT KNOW what "real" Taino music sounded like (no recordings exist)
These are typical bronx-i-rican idiots who don't know who their fathers are, but NOW know the history of imaginary Tainos. So sad.

yah you are right, they are using african rythms for their socalled taino music.
rotena25 2 years ago
Read a book because African slave trade came thru the Caribbean INCLUDING Boriken (Puerto Rico).
The Tainos used drums as well.
The rhythms may be indeed similar & if you go to other Cariibbean/S. American countries, you will hear drums there too.
Drums did exist pre African slave trade you know.
