Podcasts about Garifuna

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

In this episode, we meet two women from the Twin Cities - DJ Fawzi and DJ Yasmeenah - who are challenging stereotypes while continuing a tradition of Somali-Minnesotan trailblazing. And we catch up with Songhoy Blues through a short conversation with Oumar Touré, bassist of the acclaimed desert blues group about their groundbreaking new album Heritage. We end with a tribute to Garifuna singer, activist and icon, Aurelio Martinez, wo died on March 17. Produced by Akshaj Turebylu PA #036

On March 17, Honduran recording artist Aurelio Martínez died in a tragic plane crash. Aurelio was the voice of the Garifuna people and a fierce defender of their music in culture. Almost two decades ago producer Marlon Bishop became friends with Aurelio, living and traveling with him for several months. He shares the story of their time together.Want to support our independent journalism?

Hasta hace no muchas décadas era impensable que alguien pudiera escuchar en una vida entera música de todos los parajes que recorremos en tan solo una hora de Mundofonías. Bueno, en pleno siglo XXI mucha gente tampoco lo hace y la inmensa mayoría de los medios dan la espalda a esta maravillosa posibilidad que en este programa se hace real. Viajamos entre Brasil, Honduras, Birmania, el Tíbet, Anatolia, los Países Bajos, Grecia y el norte de África, rindiendo tributo también al músico garifuna Aurelio Martínez, recientemente desaparecido, y a todas las víctimas del terremoto y la guerra de los pueblos de Birmania. Until just a few decades ago, it was unthinkable that someone could hear music from all the places we explore in just one hour of Mundofonías in a single lifetime. Well, in the 21st century, many still don’t – and the vast majority of media outlets turn their backs on this marvellous possibility, which becomes real in this programme. We travel through Brazil, Honduras, Burma, Tibet, Anatolia, the Netherlands, Greece, and North Africa, also paying tribute to the Garifuna musician Aurelio Martínez, recently departed, and to all the victims of the earthquake and war among the peoples of Burma. - Pernambuco Quartet - Pifando / Coco embolada - Brésil: Musique du Nordeste / Brazil: Music of the Nordeste - Aurelio - Chichanbara - Lándini - Sein Bo Tint - Aung pa khei ti loun - Excavated shellac: An alternate history of the world's music [V.A.] - Urna Chahar-Tugchi - Agitu tolgói - Duun / Voices - Mehmet Polat Quartet - Roots in motion - Roots in motion - Savina Yannatou, Primavera en Salonico and Lamia Bedioui - The immortal water - Watersong - Thanos Stavridis & Drom - Zaramo - Fygame - Christos Kanellos Malamás - Rast ninni / Dilek - Dilek - Christos Kanellos Malamás - Amfibolia - Oración - (Christos Kanellos Malamás - Segâh leyli şarkı - Dilek) 📸 Thanos Stavridis & Drom

This week: sectarian persecution returns Paul Wood, Colin Freeman and Father Benedict Kiely write in the magazine this week about the religious persecution that minorities are facing across the world from Syria to the Congo. In Syria, there have been reports of massacres with hundreds of civilians from the Alawite Muslim minority targeted, in part because of their association with the fallen Assad regime. Reports suggest that the groups responsible are linked to the new Syrian president Ahmed al-Sharaa (formerly known as Abu Mohammed al-Jolani). For some, the true face of the country's new masters has been revealed. Whether the guilty men are punished will tell us what kind of country Syria has become since the fall of Assad's dictatorship. Speaking to those on the ground, Wood reports of fathers who were shot in front of their families, victims made to howl like dogs as they crawled through piles of corpses, and of state security forces trying to prevent survivors from photographing or talking about what had happened. But to what extent is al-Sharaa responsible? And could other minorities, like the Syrian Christian minority – one of the oldest in the world, be next? Paul and Fr Benedict joined the podcast to discuss. (1:02) Next: this century's ‘unstoppable process of language extinction' There are around 7,000 languages currently spoken across the world, but by the end of the century only 500 are expected to survive. Thus, documenting endangered languages has never been so important and this is the starting point of Lorna Gibb's new book, Rare Tongues: The Secret Stories of Hidden Languages, reviewed by Harry Ritchie in the books section of the magazine this week. What are some examples of the languages facing extinction? And should we accept this as an inevitable cultural rise and fall, or should we be working to combat this? Harry joined the podcast alongside Dr Oliver Mayeux, a sociolinguist at Cambridge, who also speaks Louisiana creole – a language spoken by fewer that 10,000 people. With special thanks to the Endangered Language Alliance, for allowing us to use a clip of the Garifuna language, who are working to document and preserve languages facing extinction across the world. (18:06) And finally: what is ‘Boom Boom', Gen Z's favourite aesthetic trend? Out are boring converse and dirty t-shirts beloved by millennial tech bros and in are high-fashion double-breasted suits and loafers, or so says Arabella Byrne who writes about the aesthetic trend defining Gen Z. American trend analyst Sean Monahan – who also coined 2013's ‘normcore' – coined the term ‘Boom Boom' to encapsulate the look and feel of the trend. Think 1980s yuppies updated for 2025 – so why exactly is it popular, and what does it tell us about today's twentysomethings? Arabella and Sean joined the podcast to discuss. (27:50) Plus: Matthew Parris, Stephen Fry, Rory Sutherland, Rachel Johnson, Philip Hensher, Sean Thomas and Petronella Wyatt reveal the worst insults they ever received from a teacher. (13:59) Presented by William Moore and Lara Prendergast. Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

Adventurer Phoebe Smith heads to the Central American nation of Belize, to see - in the wake of the rollback of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives in the USA - how multiple cultures can live in harmony while still celebrating their own uniqueness. The country is found on Central America's north eastern coast,  bordered by Mexico, Guatemala and the Caribbean Sea.  It's one of only two destinations in Latin America where English is the official language. This is a country that is happy with its own cultural diversity - being home to more than six ethnic groups in a country around the size of Wales. So how does Belize manage to weave so many cultures into a harmonious tapestry - wander with Phoebe to find out...Also coming up:An interview with National Geographic explorer and conservationist Jamal Galves aka The Manatee ManTravel Hack: Know your Belizean ethnic groupsTop 10 wildlife found on land and in the sea around BelizeMeet Dayter Rodriguez - the first female maker of Garifuna drumsDiscover how to pack for a land and sea adventureLearn all about our Wander Woman of the Month - Gwendolyn Lizarraga aka Madam Liz - fighter for equal rights for women and the poorContact Wander Womanwww.Phoebe-Smith.com; @PhoebeRSmith

EMM worker Tim Groff had the opportunity to sit beside Pastor Victor Gonzales on a long van drive from Managua to the village of Orinoco on the Caribbean coast and listen to his stories. As they traveled with other Garifuna pastors from Honduras, they heard amazing stories of faith; the tales of how God had sustained the church among the people living there.

Deep in the Rockies in Alberta, Canada, is a small unassuming hut that - unknown to many - houses a teahouse that has been serving hikers since 1904. In the heat of high summer the cabin swarms with hikers in search of a brew. Early or late in the season, though, it's possible to bag the best view in the house on the porch overlooking Lake Agnes before choosing from the impressive menu of loose-leaf teas in relative tranquillity.Joanna Magee owns the teahouse and has to get up at 4.30am to bake the day's supply of bread on an old propane army stove (there's no electric in the cabin). Stocking up on supplies are even more challenging - with all dry goods being helicoptered in once a year and members of staff having to hike into Lake Louise to pick up fresh produce and hike all the rubbish back out. I head there and to its nearest neighbour - the Plain of 6 Glaciers Teahouse - to grab a much-needed brew and to meet the staff whose walk to work is one of the longest but scenic in the country.Also coming up:Adventurer Aldo Kane talks about why he loves the jungle despite being covered in leech bites; figure out how to cut the crap - literally - to see through greenwashing and ensure you travels are truly as eco-friendly as possible; on our run up to the spooky season discover 10 places in Ireland to celebrate Halloween - the original birthplace of the festivities (yes, really); meet the woman who decided to create hand-crafted dolls to try to share her Garifuna culture in Belize - and beyound; get your packing in the bag with my gear chat's tips on buying the perfect daypack and learn all about our Wander Woman of the Month - the Motorcycle Queen of Miami - Bessie Stringfield. Contact Wander Woman www.Phoebe-Smith.com; @PhoebeRSmith

In this episode of Planet Afropop, we explore the music and language of the Caribbean coasts' Afro-indigenous Garinagu People of Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, St. Vincent, and Nicaragua commonly known as the Garifuna. The official story is that these are descendants of enslaved Africans who were shipwrecked on the Island of St. Vincent in 1635. The distinct Garifuna language and music challenge this narrative with mounting evidence emerging of an alternative origin story of the Afro-Caribes before trans- Atlantic slavery and Columbus. The Garifuna Collective takes us on a journey to explore these gaps in history through their new music, with their distinctive homegrown punta rock rhythms and paranda from their latest album, Aban whose meaning is One. Producer Muwkae Wabei Siyolwe caught up with the Garifuna Collective and Dr. Gwen Nunez Gonzales, a Garifuna language matriarch in Belize who shares the stories behind the resilience and cultural citizenship of the Garifuna people.

Do you have much experience with dance outside of your own culture? Since it's International Dance Day, I want to take today's episode to focus on dance as a source of heritage and identity and how it can truly connect us across our different cultures, but I can't do it alone. My guest today is four-time Emmy Award-winning host and executive producer of the show Bare Feet, Mickela Mallozzi, who is on a mission to experience the world one dance at a time. In today's episode, Mickela and I talk about the need to be vulnerable when you're learning something new and how we have to let go of perfection so that we can genuinely be curious and learn from other cultures and experience dance through their eyes. She shares her views on the various cultural foundations of dance that are not often taught, and she shares some great stories like learning the dance with the people of the Garifuna who survived exile only to maintain, thrive, and grow their cultural heritage, including their native dances. I hope you enjoy the cultural exploration of dance in this episode, and let's celebrate International Dance Day together!

Season two called Paths Created and Barriers Broken will highlight the expansive definition of what it means to be first gen.We will share stories of black leaders in Latin America and the Caribbean who are first gens that have created paths for themselves  and for their communities.Stay in Touch with the Labyrinth of the First Gen By following us on Instagram @Labyrinth of the First Gen and subscribe to our monthly newsletter on labyrinthfirstgen.com    The Labyrinth of the First Gen yearly survey to get your feedback on Season 1 and Season 2 is hereSchedule 30 minutes to chat with me during my open office hours

Across the African Diaspora, Black land rights are being violated. At the peak of black land ownership after the civil war, African American farmers owned 16 million acres of land (Francis, 2023). Today, the cumulative value of African-American land loss due to land dispossession is $326 billion (Francis, 2023). Black land dispossession in the United States is not an isolated incident. Land dispossession also occurs across the African diaspora in Central America.In this episode, Hervan Morgan a Belizean activist, talks about Serro, which is land that is collectively owned by the Garifuna population. We discuss the importance of Serro and black land ownership in the context of the Garifuna population, Central America, and the world more broadly. " The world right now as we live, as we journey through this earth. We don't have  high understanding, a deep understanding of justice and fairness.  It was something spoken about by Jesus Christ for many years, justice and fairness.  And so Serro is all about fairness."  ~Hervan MorganResources for this EpisodeDr. Dania V.

He talks about the implications of racism and discrimination on the Garifuna language across the  Central American diaspora Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua.

I would not like to enter into my transition knowing that the risk continues. So the call is for everybody. It is our responsibility to save our language, save our culture, and educate about it.

Sulma Arzu-Brown is the perfect bridge between Black History Month and Women's History month. Brilliant, spirited, creative, and lively, Sulma carries her Afro-Latina and Garifuna pride with her daily. Like so many of us, becoming a parent renewed her commitment to cultural maintenance and pride. When her child came home having learning the concept of "pelo malo," or "bad hair," Sulma acted. She wrote the beautiful book El pelo malo no existe/Bad Hair Does Not Exist. She made sure that her children would love their hair, their culture, and their language, and resolved to bring those gifts to us.

The future of Honduras begins and ends on the white sand beaches of Tela Bay on the country's northeastern coast where Garifuna, a Black Indigenous people, have resided for over two hundred years. In The Ends of Paradise: Race, Extraction, and the Struggle for Black Life in Honduras (Stanford UP, 2022), Christopher A. Loperena examines the Garifuna struggle for life and collective autonomy, and demonstrates how this struggle challenges concerted efforts by the state and multilateral institutions, such as the World Bank, to render both their lands and their culture into fungible tourism products. Using a combination of participant observation, courtroom ethnography, and archival research, Loperena reveals how purportedly inclusive tourism projects form part of a larger neoliberal, extractivist development regime, which remakes Black and Indigenous territories into frontiers of progress for the mestizo majority. The book offers a trenchant analysis of the ways Black dispossession and displacement are carried forth through the conferral of individual rights and freedoms, a prerequisite for resource exploitation under contemporary capitalism. By demanding to be accounted for on their terms, Garifuna anchor Blackness to Central America—a place where Black peoples are presumed to be nonnative inhabitants—and to collective land rights. Steeped in Loperena's long-term activist engagement with Garifuna land defenders, this book is a testament to their struggle and to the promise of "another world" in which Black and Indigenous peoples thrive. Christopher A. Loperena is Associate Professor of Anthropology at the Graduate Center, City University of New York. You can find the article discussed during this conversation, published in American Anthropologist, here. Alize Arıcan is a Society of Fellows Postdoctoral Scholar at Boston University, focusing on urban anthropology, futurity, care, and migration.
