Count array in repeated elements

Question

I have the following array:

 CUSTOMER = ['MARIA', 'JOAO', 'MARIA', 'JOAO']

I would like to do the following count:

 {'MARIA': 2, 'JOAO': 2}

I tried using the from collections import Counter library, but counted each letter in the array

The second answer in the duplicated question, addresses your concerns. — Dani Mesejo, Oct 08 '19 at 17:06
To tell you why your attempt counted the letters instead, we would have to see the code you wrote. — Karl Knechtel, Oct 08 '19 at 17:39

>>> from collections import Counter
>>> CUSTOMER = ['MARIA', 'JOAO', 'MARIA', 'JOAO']
>>> Counter(CUSTOMER)
Counter({'MARIA': 2, 'JOAO': 2})
