About Típica Tica
Costa Rican folk típica music, anchored in the Guanacaste province on the Pacific coast and the marimba tradition. Punto Guanacasteco became the national dance in 1959, and standards like Caña Dulce and Caballito Nicoyano remain the soundtrack of national holidays, school turnos, and Sunday family afternoons.
