About GARIFUNA COLLECTIVE
For more than a decade The Garifuna Collective has pushed the boundaries of their dynamic, centuries-old musical traditions, breaking new ground with performances that show why UNESCO has proclaimed the language, dance, and music of the Garifuna people of Central America as a “Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity”. The collective has been part of the most celebrated Garifuna albums of all time, recipient of the WOMEX and BBC World Music Award and voted by Amazon as the Number One World Music Album of All Time.
