Belize’s Garifuna Collective celebrates 20 years with European tour and major magazine cover

Minister of Culture Francis Fonseca, alongside the National Institute of Culture and History (NICH), proudly congratulated The Garifuna Collective reaching a monumental 20-year milestone.

To mark two decades of sharing Belizean culture with the world, the legendary group has landed a historic cover feature on Songlines Magazine-the world’s premier guide to global music-with cover photography shot right at home Jeremy Lewis of Hopkins Village.

The band is embarking on a 14-day tour spanning the UK, Ireland, and Germany.

“The complex rhythms demand attention, and quickly resolve themselves into a completely irresistible groove. When the melodies kick in on top of them, the lushness is overwhelming.” – The Wall Street Journal

The current touring line-up features Desiree Diego, Kenrick Lewis, Mohobub Flores, Al Ovando, Denmark Flores, Emilio Thomas, Sam Harris, and Austin Aranda.

The Garifuna Collective extended a heartfelt thank you to NICH, as well as their dedicated fans and friends worldwide, for decades of support in keeping Belizean music thriving on the international stage.
