Performer: Andy Palacio/The Garifuna Collective
Producer: Ivan Duran Distributor: E1 Distribution (USA) Notes: The Belize musician Andy Palacio belongs to the Garifuna society, a mix of West African and indigenous Caribbean cultures that once flourished along the Caribbean coast of Central America. Irresistibly danceable yet musically subtle, this collection, which features Garifuna musicians from Belize, Guatemala, and Honduras, seeks to keep the culture's musical traditions alive in a set with each song sung in Garifuna to traditional rhythms.
Down Beat (p.75) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Ivan Duran's production keeps things spare and direct....The aching ballads hit hardest."
Dirty Linen (p.50) - "The album, which was recorded in a rustic thatch shack on the beach, is a seamless fusion of musical elements that evoke styles from Cuba, Brazil, and Cape Verde while remaining distinctly original."
