Caribean punta-rock – style inspired by Afro-Ameridian heritage
Andy Palacio & The Garifuna Collective’s 2007 album, Wátina is one of the most prised world music albums ever released. On the cusp of tremendous fame, Andy passed away suddenly an year after Wátina was released, leaving the world to wonder just how big he could have became.

With a lineup that consistsof the best musicians in the fertile Garifuna music scene, The Garifuna promises to carrz the torch of cultural preservation and promotion passed on Andz Palacio far into the future.
