Music of Belize

Mariachi and son jarocho, marimba ensembles of Guatemala, Garifuna punta, Panamanian tamborito and the corrido ballad tradition.

Modern music

Belize's musical base has expanded considerably in recent years with the addition of local Punta rockreggae, reggaeton, punta, soca, dancehall, hip hop, rock, and metal acts. The latter genre includes musicians like Shyne, Lova Boy, Hanal Pixan and Ascenthium. However, despite growing local scenes, modern music from other Caribbean nations (primarily Jamaican dancehall and Trinidadian soca ), as well as commercial pop music from the United States and United Kingdom still remain the most popular genres of music among young Belizeans.
