Gunjei music is less common again and also has a slower tempo than the styles mentioned earlier. It is traditionally performed in a circle with partners swapping over. The Segundo drum rhythmic ostinato is Ta Ti Ti Ta Ti Ti Ti (triplet). This is the most complicated Garifuna drum rhythm. This pattern although more complicated still allows for the improvisation of the Primero drum. It is also one of the only Garifuna music styles in the common time signature. Overall it is a slower and more graceful yet more difficult style of music than its closest relation, Chumba.
