Growing up in a secluded village on the Honduran coast, Aurelio Martinez received most of his musical education from his mother. Now, the musician from a minority culture called the Garifuna is going back to those roots on his latest album “Landini,” while also fighting for the rights of his people.
When Andy Palacio died unexpectedly five years ago many wondered if his band, The Garifuna Collective, would be able to carry on. With the release of their CD “Ayó,” The Garifuna Collective promise to carry on his legacy and continue to play Garifuna music.
