"The Taino were neither conservative nor tradition-bound. In their arts
as well as their political structure, they eagerly tried new things,
combining old themes with new media. In the century preceding the
Spanish conquest, their society enjoyed a period of artistic florescence
in a variety of media, including music and dance (Arrom 1989; Tavares
1978)."
