the Garifuna Collective Biography
“This troupe of extraordinary singers has fashioned a unique and wonderful world; once you enter, you will never want to leave. ”
— Charlie Gillett, The Guardian (UK)
““The meeting point where ancient meets modern, where acoustic slips effortlessly into and out of electric, this music stretches forward, defying the listener to pin it down. And yet far from being disturbing, it is endlessly satisfying and soothing. Whatever people mean about music being universal, surely that is the perfect demonstration of their argument.” ”
— The Observer (UK)
““Full of surging seaside rhythms and yearning, soulful melodies that hang in the memory,” ”
— BBC Music
