A stunning album featuring an all-star, multigenerational lineup of musicians from the African-Amerindian Garifuna communities of Belize, Guatemala, and Honduras. Filled with enchanting rhythms, powerful melodies and a deep soulfulness that recalls Cape Verdean or Afro-Peruvian music, Wátina serves as a stunning introduction to the music of this unique and inspiring culture. The Garinagu, or Garifuna, people originated when two large European ships, filled with a delivery of West African slaves, sunk off the coast of the Caribbean island of St. Vincent in 1635.
