Sopa de Caracol is a Honduran Garifuna song popularised internationally by Banda Blanca in the early 1990s, with its title referring to conch soup. Its mix of Punta rhythms and Spanish and Garifuna lyrics helped it spread across Latin America and beyond as a dancefloor staple. Decades later the chorus circulates online as a short clip, shared in edits and soundboards because the hook is recognisable within seconds and works without context, even for audiences who have never heard the full recording or know its original meaning in full.
