Andy Palacio
Andy Palacio is one of those rare birds: an accomplished guitarist and singer, and the director of a centre dedicated to Belizean culture and roots. His own Garifuna heritage is the fruit of the meeting between former African slaves and Amerindian communities called Island Caribs. Palacio has been the leading artist for the Stonetree record label founded by Ivan Duran in 1995. In 2007, he and his Garifuna Collective released an ambitious trans-generational effort called “Watina”. That same year, he and Duran won the WOMEX Award for their work on Belizean music and heritage. On January 19, 2008, Palacio died at the tragically young age of 47. |

Paris, June 2007
 play
Setting : Inauspiciously, Andy Palacio entered the Paris café Au Général Lafayette, in the 9th arrondissement, with his guitar and gentle smile. He was preparing for a concert at the New Morning the following day which literally brought the house down. Yet, he appeared relaxed and happy to lend himself to the hourlong exchange. This interview was first broadcast by Radio France International and its flagship programme World Tracks.
