Modern Music
Belize's musical base has expanded considerably in recent years with the addition of local reggae, Hip Hop, metalcore, hard rock and dancehall acts.
Various heavy metal and hard rock bands are scattered around the country (most in districts with a higher Mestizo population such as the north and Cayo) such as Lasher Zombie.
There has also been a noticeable influence of EDM in the country, mostly among youths, with house music being prominent. Many have become disc jockeys.
However, despite the many growing rock and electronic music scenes, commercial pop music from the United States and England, and modern dancehall artists from Jamaica (Vybz Kartel, Mavado) still remain the most popular forms of music among young Belizeans.

“It was a poetic recreation to watch those distant sails steering for half-fabulous ports, whose very names are a mysterious music to our ears.... It is remarkable that men do not sail the sea with more expectation. Nothing was ever accomplished in a prosaic mood.”
