The Garifuna in Northern Honduras

So I teach ESL at Loyola on Tuesday evenings. This past tuesday I was teaching, and there were two guys that spoke Spanish but had some really interesting ideas of how to pronounce certain words. They were black dudes so I was guessing maybe they were from Brazil or something. It turns out that these two are from Honduras, and come from the Garifuna culture. I had no idea this existed. It was a culture that developed from the slave trade off the coast of Northern Honduras. Check it out here.
