Almost 2 decades ago I spent a too brief period of time in the Garifuna communities of Belize and Guatemala. Those were very good, laid back and inspiring times, full of music. Back home I frequented the local music library which now no longer exists but back then had a fine collection of Garifuna music cds. Then all kinds of other things happened and my interest dwindled, only to be revived some 20 years later by this song playing on the main mix of RP.....
It simply baffles me right now to suddenly hear this here.
And I love it that it does.
This track easily starts at 8, and I'll add one point for the sheer joy of RP playing it
Exebeche
I was also out in Belize and Guatemala in the early 2000's and attended the Battle of the Drums event in Dangriga a Garifuna musical experience indeed, this is where i met Emeth Young from Punta Gorda, a creole drummer. Very good times indeed.
Thanks for sharing your experience, it brings back superb musical memories.

Danny Michel recorded an album with The Garifuna Collective called Black Birds are Flying over Me. That album, along with this one (Ayo) were produced by Ivan Duran of Stonetree Records in Belize. Danny Michel was not involved in Ayo.
Thanks for playing The Garifuna Collective and letting more people discover the music of Belize!
Bump.
