It has been a year since Andy Palacio, a cultural icon in Belize and world-renowned musician, unexpectedly passed away. On Saturday, January 17th, people from all over Belize joined together in Punta Gorda to pay tribute to this great man. The ceremony started with several traditional spiritual Garifuna rituals which included singing and dancing. Students from local schools recited poetry and also sang songs. Members from the Garifuna Collective performed, and the celebration of Andy Palacio’s life went on late into the night. It was a beautiful celebration, and we are so honored to have been a part of this special night.
Again, a memory making experience, and to think you had heard him sing! Such great times--Love you----GiGi & Bill
