Podcast appearances and mentions of andy palacio

Andy Palacio (1960-2008) of Belize was a brilliant singer/songwriter/bandleader/activist and one of the greatest champions of Garifuna culture in his time. At the height of his international acclaim, after the release of his 2007 album Watina, Andy died suddenly. This program was produced shortly before that tragic event and captures Andy, his band and fellow musician Paul Nabor, in their prime. As we were preparing the program for rebroadcast, we learned that Andy's protégé and fellow Garifuna culture icon Aurelio Martinez—who also appears in this program—died in a plane crash at age 58. So this program, capturing a pinnacle moment for Garifina music, is dedicated to these two fallen giants. Produced by Banning Eyre APWW #524

If you want to be a better writer, this episode is for you. My guest Dave Herndon is an accomplished non-fiction editor and writer, with nearly 40 years of experience at quality newspapers and magazines. We asked him for a few writing tips, which turn out to be good advice for delivering information and storytelling regardless of medium or platform. Dave stresses the importance of outlines, so here’s a somewhat shrunken version of his outline. Ask yourself the most important question: Who cares?  What’s your story in a nutshell? How are you going to tell your story?  DO AN OUTLINE! Identify key elements of story: The lead/intro; the nutshell; the body; scenes, characters, quotes, key info, etc. Herndon refers to a famous example in this outline, Gay Talese’s storyboard for a famous profile of Frank Sinatra. And here’s the final piece, Frank Sinatra Has a Cold. Write like a craftsperson--assemble the pieces as you outlined them--and let the art take care of itself, in the process of rewriting/self-editing. Take it from the likes of Tom Wolfe and Ernest Hemingway: set a reasonable quota for a day, and stop hard when you reach it. Wolfe set himself a quota of 1,000 words a day. That doesn’t mean you have to. The next day, self-edit the stuff you wrote the day before and pick up in the midstream. Herndon referred to two examples of craftsmanship that represent solutions to different interviewing/writing problems. He wrote a piece about Ted Turner, A Turning Point in Turner Country, but only had 20 minutes with TT. See how he deployed a scant inventory of quotes to create the impression that Turner himself is helping to tell this story. Another piece had the opposite issue: Herndon had lots of access to the subject--who died while he was writing it. So the story had to change in mid-process, with the stakes raised considerably. The piece is titled, The Voice of the People, about Andy Palacio.

The 2018 edition of the world music exposition WOMEX went down in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, in the Canary Islands with 300 artists and 2700 delegates from 92 countries. There was a lot to chew on. But one of the hidden wonders of WOMEX is the intimate European Broadcast Union radio studio. That’s where Afropop Worldwide and KEXP, Seattle, hosted four of the showcase acts up close and personal. On this program we hear radio sessions with Bakolo Music International, the oldest Congolese Rumba band alive; the Garifuna Collective, the band created by Garifuna music legend Andy Palacio; and Harouna Samake with Kamele Blues, a brand new band from a veteran Malian instrumentalist. Plus one or two surprises. This is the first of Afropop’s two-part coverage of the musical extravaganza that is WOMEX. Produced by Banning Eyre. [APWW #795]

Aurelio Martínez lleva tres décadas recuperando, interpretando y dando a conocer la cultura Garífunas. El compositor, cantante, percusionista y guitarrista pertenece a una etnia que actualmente tiene pequeñas comunidades en Centro América, además de Honduras en Belice, Guatemala y Nicaragua. Los garífuna tienen su origen en el encuentro de indígenas Caribes con esclavos africanos que naufragaron frente a lo que hoy conocemos como Isla de San Vicente. La minoritaria cultura caribeña-africana tuvo en Andy Palacio uno de sus máximos defensores, pero la labor se truncó con son su prematura desaparición en 2008 cuando terminaba de publicar “Wátina” junto The Garifuna Collective (Mejor álbum de World Music, según la WMCE en 2007). Poco después, se publicó “Umalali” el proyecto de The Garifuna Women´s Project. Y posteriormente “Ayó” de The Garifuna Collective . Aurelio, garífuna hondureño, tras un trabajo colectivo con Parranda (Paul Nabor, Andy Palacio, Junie Aranda, Jursino Cayetano…) editó su primer disco en 2004 y también participó en el disco de Palacio. Desde entonces, ha sacado varios trabajos, el que ahora publica “Darandi” (2017) y presentará en gira, repasando toda su carrera.

The "world" music community were shocked to hear that Andy Palacio had lost his fight for life and had died in his homeland of Belize on 19th January. Andy Palacio had the most extraordinary year in 2007 receiving nominations, awards and accolades for his music and for his ceaseless promotion of Garifuna culture and language. It made the news even more difficult to comprehend. This tribute was first broadcast on GondwanaSound / Sheffield Live! 93.2FM on 22nd January and whilst on air Jill received a bulletin from his record company to say that in an unprecedented move the BBC had bought forward the announcement that Andy Palacio had indeed won the best artist of the Americas category in the BBc Awards for World Music for 2008. This tribute is mixed with some of his music. Copyright - GondwanaSound, all rights reserved, please do not rebroadcast or make copies without prior consent.
