Free Music Notes for The Garifuna Women's Project Album
Free Music Review: Earthy Roots Rock from Garifuna Women
Hit: 5 Stars
Umalali's "Garifuna Women's Project" is earthy, rootsy music. It's a refreshing,down-to-earth contrast with pop divas like Mariah Carey, Leona Lewis, and Madonna. There's nothing prefab here. The Garifuna women (descendants of African slaves and Native tribes) sing about the ordinary travails of life. They sing of destructive hurricanes, the pain of childbirth, loneliness in a husband's absence. Their singing has a depth&bittersweetness to it.
The opening song,"Nibari",is a powerful plea of a grandmother to her grandchild. "Merua" is a jazzy tribute to an island off the coast of Honduras&daily life. "Yunduya Weyu" (The Sun has Set) is an electrifying song about pain after childbirth. "Barubana Yagien (Take Me Away)" is an Afropop-flavored love song. "Tuguchili Elia (Elia's Father)" is a lament to a distant husband. The closing song, "Lirun Biganute (Sad News)" is a deep lament for a deceased son. It's fitting,considering that Andy Palacio, who started the Garifuna Collective and kickstarted interest in Garifuna culture,died prematurely in January.
"Garifuna Women's Project" is a song of the human experience: sadness, joy, love, loneliness, birth, death. In 38 minutes, it travels through daily life. It's a journey worth taking.
