Taino biography, Taino discography
Caribbean when Columbus reached Hispaniola in 1492.The first New World society that Columbus encountered was one of tremendous creativity and energy.Caribbean people, but also in words borrowed from their language, such as barbecue, canoe, hammock, and hurricane; in customs related to ancient traditions of weaving, hunting and fishing, and song and dance; and in a cuisine based on yuca, beans, and barbecued meats and fish.Scholars focused on the high cultures of the mainland, such as the Inka, the Aztec, and the Maya because they were organized into political states.Archaeologists now realize, however, that by the time of the conquest these chiefdoms had evolved into complex political entities that resembled true states.The Project Directors were Fatima Bercht and Estrellita Brodsky.Christopher Columbus' arrived to the New World.Other mythological figures were the gods Zemi and
Maboya.The zemis, a god of both sexes, were represented by icons in the
form of human and animal figures, and collars made of wood, stone, bones, and
human remains.However, there were social
castes determined by birth, and class distinctions determined by type and quality
of service rendered.Caciques lived in rectangular huts, called caneyes, located in the
center of the village facing the batey.The construction of both types of building was
the same: wooden frames, topped by straw, with earthen floor, and scant
interior furnishing.But the buildings were strong enough to resist
hurricanes.Caribs certainly
existed when the Christopher Columbus landed on Puerto Rico.Puerto Rican vocabulary of today.Antilles: Living Beyond the Myth.Tribal and
others who have granted permission for their display here.We hope the
images support the Taino people's struggle for national identity.The Caguana Ceremonial Center, Utuado, Puerto Rico, in historical perspective.The Colibri, symbol of the rebirth of the Taino people.The cinturon belt used in the batey ceremony.Don Carmello Matas, a Taino Elder from Boriken.Daniel Silva, a Taino Indian artist from Vieques Island.Photo of Jatibonuco Taino Tribal Dance Group.Taino woman in Boriken pursuing a traditional Taino art.Great People of the Sacred High Waters of Boriken.Tribal Band of Tainos, should not be confused with a club or a
Native American civic organization.Exciting, original, dynamic, musically
electrifying performances of cross cultural excellence.Sana and Papo Nickel returned to
New England and Puerto Rico after a five year tour through Central and South America and the
Caribbean.Inspired by the rhythms and songs of the people they encountered,
TAINO creates their powerful sound using exquisite vocals, guitars, congas,
bongos, bamboo flutes, cuatro, requinto, and a whole array of instruments from
diverse ethnic origins.Through its music,
TAINO speaks to the universality of the human experience.Central and South America and the Caribbean.Songs are interwoven with
stories involving some of the history of Christopher Columbus and personal
experiences.Through story, song, and theatre, TAINO takes students on a
journey with Christopher Columbus exploring the world that Columbus encountered
in his many voyages to America, and the subsequent transformation of that world
with the meeting of the Native American, European, and African peoples.TAINO takes the audience on a journey of Caribbean music
during the holiday season, visiting Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Trinidad, Guadalupe,
and Jamaica.Without any reference to religious traditions, TAINO has retained
the joyous and festive nature of the Caribbean during the holiday season.Although the emphasis is to experience the music of these people, their foods,
costumes, and a bit of the history of each country is explored.Throughout this
educational and entertaining journey, some students will have the opportunity to
actively participate in playing percussion instruments accompanying TAINO,
experiencing the French speaking, Spanish speaking, and English speaking
traditions of the Caribbean.Students travel along the
Equator, visiting the most critically endangered forest regions, from the Amazon
of South America, to the great forests of central Africa, to the magic jungles
of Indonesia, to the rapidly disappearing forests of our own North American
continent.Through stories, ethnic instruments, special songs, and language from
remote parts of the world, TAINO helps students to understand and appreciate the
deep connection we all share with our living and imperiled earth.The program
includes direct student participation in the music.Workshops are available for
students and music teachers interested in more intensive vocal choral
involvement in conjunction with a community concert.It includes new
instrumentation (Sana gets to demonstrate her dazzling keyboard skills).The
emphasis here is on participation!As with all TAINO programs, the show varies to suit the age level of the
audience, with special consideration given to sponsor preferences.Combining story,
music, masks, dance, ethnic musical instruments, and audience participation,
TAINO celebrates the harvest time.Journey with TAINO to the Celtic harvest
traditions of the British Isles, to the Latino harvest festivities of the
Caribbean, to the rainforest rituals of the Mbuti in Africa, and tot he rice
harvest ceremonies of Asia.This is truly a bountiful celebration!TAINO brings to the world of family entertainment a show that

Vista Social Club, Harry Belafonte, Bob Marley, the Mighty Sparrow, and Tito
Puente, TAINO will take the audience on a journey that will fascinate and
astound the ears, giving the audience a true taste of the upbeat, big band,
island sound.In addition to the sizzling piano, cooking congas, and soaring
vocals, TAINO adds trombonist and steel drummer extraordinaire, Dan DeWalt to

We of the tribe of Jatibonicu' and its Tribal Council of Elders and tribal
members, extend to you a very warm Taino greeting.Puerto Rico), do hereby officially welcome
you to our Boriken island homeland and our Taino tribal nation home page.This tribal web site is a humble tribute to our honored Taino ancestor Cacike
Orocobix (Principal Chief, Remembrance of the First Mountain) of the tribe
of Jatibonicu' and its Taino people.We of the Jatibonicu' tribe are known
as the "Great People of the Sacred High Waters".Our traditional Jatibonicu'
tribal homeland, has a year long refreshing climate and is well known for
its many lovely flowers and mounTAINOus sites.Come visit with us to the
place of our birth and experience the warm Jibaro hospitality of the Jatibonicu
Taino Boricua Native American Indian people of this quaint remote central mountain region.Our traditional
Jatibonicu Taino tribal homeland is composed of one very large central mountain
territory.This tribal land base or region, in the past was divided into three
smaller villages by the former regional Governor of Puerto Rico Don Diego Colon
of the Spanish colonial Government of Spain.In the 1500's the Jatibonicu tribal homeland consisted of three villages known
as Yucayeques (villages).These villages are known today as the local
municipalities of Orocovis, Morovis, Barranquitas and Aibonito.In Jatibonicu's
territorial history, the colonial Government of Spain would come to
further geographically divide this region.They would establish or create a
fourth (4) village known as Morovis, from one of the barrios or boroughs of
the village that was formerly known by the Taino name of "Barros".The village
of Barros was officially renamed to Orocovis to honor the memory of Principal
Chief Orocobix in the year 1825.Our Jatibonicu Taino Cultural Heritage

Our Tribal Government's viewpoint on
Sovereignty and the official recognition of legitimate American Indian tribes and nations.Presently this Tribal Elder at the age 50, stands within the crossroads of
the four winds as a symbol of Taino Indigenous freedom.Thus in my view and
in the thoughts of other Taino tribal members, through his years of dedication
and via his noble 37 years of struggling for his people, has thus proven to be a relentless
warrior in the Taino people's struggle for the preservation of our Taino indigenous culture and its ethnic heritage.Tribal Government of The Jatibonicu Taino Tribal Nation
