Average Rating:
 Rating:  - I really wanted to like itI really wanted to like this album, but I have to confess I've found it a little heavy going and samey. I've given it four stars on the basis of its worthiness as a project, and to acknowledge that I'm probably just not tuned in enough to this kind of thing to really get it. But I don't think I'll be playing it very often. My loss, probably. Rating: - On this occasion the men are better...As a consequence of musical explorations I discovered that the Garifuna are a mixed race culuture originating from indigenous peoples of the Americas and of African; so kind of the usual Latin American mix without the European bit. A unique cultural identity has formed within these peoples. Nevertheless, one can detect the European cross references without any trouble in amongst the polyrhythms and drums one would expect from that cultural background. It's an album of interest, and certainly one I like. But here we have the women, and I must admit that Andy Palacio and the Garifuna Collective in this case shows the men ahead of the women. Rating:  - garifuna womaen's project -umalaliDeeply spiritual and moving. Easy and varied Afro-Caribbean rhythms and harmonies. Simple, effective accoustic accompaniment and drumming. Roots music at its finest. For me, the best 'world' music album this year. Doctor T |
