Culture through Music

Part of the Honduran musical repertoire is made up of Costumbrista and Folkloric songs.

Costumbrista Song

It is any literary or musical composition inspired by something folkloric such as the land, the landscape, the way our peasants speak, their way of dressing and thinking, etc. and the most important thing is that we all know the name of its author.

Folk song

It is any literary or musical composition with the same characteristics as costumbrista songs, but in this case the name of its author is not known. It may be by the author’s own decision to remain anonymous or because it is a very old song that over the years has forgotten the name of its author.
