Every now and again, my wife and I spend a day or two listening to music on Amazon, then we lash out and buy about ten albums at once. One the best CDs that we bought this time was “Watina” by Andy Palacio & The Garifuna Collective.

Back in 1982 I went to Belize and spent two weeks in Belize City. The experience was so bad that I’ve bad-mouthed the country and it’s capital city ever since, to who ever would listen.

Now that I’ve recently come across the music of Andy Palacio I feel that I have something good to say about Belize. As good it feels to say something positive about Belize, when I looked up Andy Palacio on the net today to find out more about him, I was saddened to find out that he died over a year ago.

I wanted to put up a video of him performing Águyuha Nidúheñu (My people have moved on) but it isn’t on Youtube and I can’t insert it into this post, but I found this instead.
