By Zoila Palma Gonzalez: The award-winning Garifuna Collective resumes performances with a tour that will commence in Europe this summer. The tour will include performances at major festivals in France, the Czech Republic, Belgium, and the United Kingdom.

Today, Anthony Mahler, Minister of Tourism and Diaspora Relations, presented a cheque for $15,000 to Al Obando, Manager of the Garifuna Collective.

The funds will be used to assist the group with their expenses during the tour.

The Garifuna Collective has performed in over 30 countries on 5 continents and has been part of the most celebrated Garifuna albums, including the acclaimed Wátina.

The Garifuna Collective is the recipient of the Womex and BBC World Music Award and has been voted by Amazon as the Number One World Music Album of All Time.

“The band of musicians bring the history and soul of Garifuna culture to vivid life and proudly promote Belize through their performances,” the BTB noted.
