Charikanari in Dangriga on New Year's Day, 2023.

Go walking about Dangriga on New Year's Day and you will hear the beats from the Garifuna drums of this distinct sound calling the Two Foot Cow.
This masquerade dance involve groups of performers who go from house to house entertaining the community with antics. Charikanari may have originated as a spinoff from the Joncunu Festival. Descriptions of 17th Century performers mention two forms of dressing: the beautiful, presumably like our present day Joncunu dancers and the grotesque described as wearing cowhead attire with real horns worn over a head wrap and a wire screen mask. Today's Charikanari "cow" and "hunter man" surrounded by a group of masked dancers offer hours of entertainment to the young spectators who amuse themselves by teasing the players.
