Bolivar State, Venezuela — Garifuna musician, Alex Ciego put the link below on his Facebook profile recently and after seeing it for myself, I am putting it up here. This youtube clip is from an An Arawak Indian Settlement in the Bolivar State of Venezuela.
.
An Arawak Indian woman and an Indian tribal chief are interviewed. At the 2:48 point, the woman mentions that she makes cassava and at the 4:18 to the 4:25 point, she speaks the Arawak language and some of it sounds like the Garifuna Language.
.
Being that The Garifuna Language is basically a mixture of Carib Indian and Arawak Indian Languages (with an African accent?) anyway, it makes sense that the Garifuna language and the Arawak language are similar.
