Andy Palacio

Andy Palacio is an icon  in Belize.  He is Garifuna, a unique culture and ethnic group that is based on the Caribbean coast of Central America  and is a blend of West African and Native Caribbean heritage.   The Garifuna Culture is under threat, and Andy Palacio has made it his mission to help preserve the Garifuna Culture and its traditions.  This week Any Palacio was honored by UNESCO, the United Nations Education, Scientific, and Cultural Organization Council, as an Artist for Peace. 

Watina, a unique album that celebrates the Garifuna culture, is the latest from Andy Palacio and the Garifuna Collective, a group of musicians from Belize, Guatemala, and Honduras. Watina is a beautiful collection of songs based on traditional Garifuna rhythm with lyrics in Garifuna and English. 

You can buy Watina on or at Stonetree Records, where you learn more about Andy Palacio, the Garifuna Collective, and other Belizean artists.
