Making It Cool To Be Garifuna - Caribbean Travel & Life That's the kind of music made by Andy Palacio, who set out to save the culture of his people, the Garifuna, and is now the most popular performer in his native Belize.

BOMB Magazine: Table of Contents   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) As this interview with scholar Ruben Gallo reveals, Lugo's seemingly detached work has quite a bit to do with Mexico and its urban culture.

FRONTLINE/WORLD . BELIZE - The Exile's Song . Let the Rhythm Move You: Music of the Garifuna - Priest and Poet: Paul ... This parandero, or old master of the Paranda musical style, is also a buyei, a spirit medium and healer who attends to his congregation at a Garifuna temple he built in Punta Gorda. Record producer Ivan Duran was introduced to Nabor's music by Punta Rocker Andy Palacio and recorded him for inclusion on the album Paranda, which showcases an endangered style of music performed by Garifuna men from Honduras, Guatemala and Belize in their 60s, 70s, even up into their 90s. Written for his sister when she was on her deathbed, this song exemplifies Paranda's acoustic leanness and the way its lyrics evoke a nostalgic longing. www.pbs.org /frontlineworld/stories/belize/nabor.html   (194 words)

Beluria, A Final earthly meeting to commemorate the dead while swapping stories, jokes, songs and advice, these support ... Beluria, A Final earthly meeting to commemorate the dead while swapping stories, jokes, songs and advice, these support teams cook food and prepare for the wake and funeral, the first step in the mourning process. Considering everything that has been said up to this point, especially the most prevalent themes in the songs and the nature of the relationship that obtains between the living and the dead who mediate between the former and the external world, one would perhaps expect to find a sad, morose and frightened people. Yet nowhere in Taylor’s ethnography (1951), in Palacio’s work, or in any other reference to the Garifuna that I am aware of, has this observation been made. www.seinebight.com /beluria.htm   (1684 words)
