“The meeting point where ancient meets modern…this music stretches forward defying the listener to pin it down. Whatever people mean about music being universal, surely that is the perfect demonstration of their argument”
The Observer (UK)
Based in Belize, The Garifuna Collective are one of the most unique Afro-Carribean bands on the planet. As representatives of the Garifuna people – a separate language and culture group spread across several countries in Central America – they harness the indomitable energy of their African and Indigenous ancestors, generating an irrepressible, positive energy every time they perform.
Their most recent album ‘ABAN’ features some newer electronic and dub textures, reflecting the multi-generational nature of the group and their collective urge to keep moving into new musical territory.
They have created feverish dancefloors in over 30 countries in 5 continents and have been part of the most celebrated world music releases of all time, including the critically acclaimed Wátina – recipient of the Womex and BBC World Music Award and voted by Amazon as the Number One World Music Album of All Time.
“The complex rhythms demand attention and quickly resolve themselves into a completely irresistible groove. When the melodies kick in on top of them, the lushness is overwhelming.” The Wall Street Journal
