Founded by the late, great, Andy Palacio, The Garifuna Collective consists of an evolving, Intergenerational band of Musicians committed to producing and playing traditional Garifuna Music.
.
They sing in the Garifuna Language and their Music stands in stark contrast to the contemporary sounds of Punta Rock, essentially Garifuna Party Music.
.
With their soulful melodies, intricate rhythms, and call-and-response vocals, the multi-generational Garifuna Collective brings the rich heritage of the Garifuna people to life with every performance.
.
The Garifuna Collective 20th Anniversary World Tour also celebrates the enduring legacy of their co-founder, the late Andy Palacio, whose seminal album, “Watina” (released by the Garifuna Collective in 2007) was hailed as the “Number One World Music Album of All Time”. Produced by Ivan Duran, that album has withstood the test of time.
.
.
The Garifuna Collective continues to build upon this Foundation, sharing the powerful stories of resilience, pride, and unity that define Garifuna Culture with audiences worldwide. New Yorkers and New Hampshire people have a rare opportunity to experience this unique and captivating sound firsthand.
