Free Music Review: Andy Palacio's welcome return to his roots
Hit: 5 Stars
Andy Palacio from Belize was little known outside his country, the smallest one in South America. He contributed a bland track to Putumayo's "Music from the Chocolate Lands",and frothy Caribbean pop to Putumayo's "Caribe! Caribe!" When Andy Palacio realized he was one of the few young people still speaking the Garifuna language, he decided to return to his roots, and form the Garifuna Collective.
Andy Palacio's return to his roots has led not only to a revival of Garifuna language and culture, but is a joy for world music fans who delight in earthy, powerful music. "Watina" is a savory blend of reggae-flavored music such as "Lidan Aban" (Together) and the bluesy laments of "Sin Precio" (Worthless), "Ayo Da" (Goodbye my dear) and the title track. There is the reverent sacred music of "Baba" (Father),"Weyu Larigi Weyu" (Day by Day) and "Aguyuha Nidudenu" (My people have moved on). The jazzy,frothy song "Miami" isn't about the Florida metropolis, but about injustice in that city in Honduras. The closing song, "Amunegu" (In times to come),is a hopeful gaze to the future.
There isn't a single weak song on this album. It's a perfect introduction to the music of Belize (too often overshadowed by Argentina,the tango capital of the world and Brazil with its sambas and bossa novas) and Garifuna culture. It's a must for any world music collection!
Andy Palacio introduced the wider public to the richness of bluesy Garifuna music. He was on the verge of a breakthrough with this album. Hopefully, the Garifuna Collective will carry on his musical legacy.
RIP Andy Palacio (1960-2008)
