The Garifuna Collective has been a driving force in bringing the rich cultural heritage and music of the Garifuna people to a global audience for the last 20 years. Hailing from Belize in Central America, The Garifuna Collective has had a lasting impact in the Garifuna community and on the World Music stage. Their work has been critical in preserving and evolving the Garifuna musical traditions, while also highlighting the ongoing struggles and triumphs of the Garifuna people. This exceptional group of musicians has played to audiences in over 30 countries, making them one of the most important cultural ambassadors in the region.

They have released a series of critically acclaimed albums including Watina, which was honored with prestigious accolades from WOMEX, and the BBC World Music Awards. Voted as Amazon’s “Number One World Music Album of All Time” in 2008, Watina continues to be a landmark in World Music.

For their 20th Anniversary, The Garifuna Collective embarks on a world tour to celebrate their rich musical heritage and their continuing role in elevating Garifuna culture globally. With performances across multiple continents, they will share the powerful stories of resilience, pride, and unity through their music.
