Honduras

Primera and segunda drums trade weight along the coast, rattles bright at their edges.

Primera and segunda drums create a taut call-and-response, with sísira maracas and handclaps tracing the rhythm's finer grain. Guitar introduces the warmer, songful pull of paranda, while turtle-shell percussion and chirimía open drier, more processional colors inland. Caribbean-coast momentum thins into Lenca highland processions and the quieter river territories of the east, with texture controlling the pace. Drum skin stays close and physical, balanced by airy flute, resonant wood, and clipped string figures.
