Event Description

Get a glimpse of Belize and its music that tells a version of our post-colonial history as Latinos.

The intergenerational story of a music in migration. Through its intimate portraits of Garifuna musicians such as Andy Palacio, Punta Soul chronicles the evolution of popular Garifuna music from Belize. The Garifuna, an Afro-Indigenous people exiled from the Caribbean to the coast of Central America in 1798, have carried on a rich and vibrant culture whose expression is found in the electric sound called ‘punta rock’ and the even more soulful ‘paranda.’ Punta Soul explores the role of the music and the musicians in the cultural renaissance of ethnic communities in Belize.

Punta Soul, Directed by Belize-American film maker Nyasha Laing, is being shown as part of the Pan African Film Festival.
