Listen!

The ancestors of the Garinagu originated in west Africa, the Congo and Angola. They were survivors of slave ships that were stranded off the coast of Honduras. The Wabaruagun ensemble brings the songs of the black Caribs to life in a repertoire of dances, trance music and funeral rituals. The voices are accompanied by drums and ocasionally a conch shell horn.

Please note!
Most CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America. We guarantee that the CDs and the contents are all brand new and in perfect condition. Whenever I can, I use recycled shipping materials. They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.
