Belizean musician Andy Palacio dies

Tuesday, January 22, 2008

Belizean musician Andy Palacio, who brought to the world the music of the Garifuna people who descended from Central American natives and shipwrecked African slaves, has died aged 47. Palacio was one of the world's most prominent defenders of the unique Garifuna culture and language. His band "The Garifuna Collective," played an upbeat dance music called Punta Rock, based on traditional Garifuna rhythms and infused with synthetic beats and keyboards. He died on Saturday after a series of massive strokes, a heart attack and respiratory failure. UNESCO named him an "Artist of Peace" for his work promoting Garifuna traditions.

RESPECT IS DUE!
Andy P...as he was known in Belize...was really a musical champion! He humbly played punta music for Belizeans and people of the world for many years, but got the solid recognition in 2007 with the release of his inspirational and award winning album "Watina." He said it best in his own words "all the years i was making music for the body...so i decided to make music for the mind" - and so it was....(R.I.P) ANDY .P - RESPECT IS DUE!!!
