Another high-profile music list was just unveiled over at Amazon, their 100 Greatest World Music Albums of All Time . 100 is a nice number -- round, large, and far less likely to include glaring omissions than, say, a top 10 or top 25 list. Still, there are some mysteries. I love Andy Palacio and was honored to have him and his Garifuna Collective into the KAOS studios for live music two years ago before his truly untimely passing. But #1? His music is great, but it's certainly not had the global popularity or impact [...]

Yesterday's Spin The Globe ping-ponged between Israel and Palestine in the first hour, and in the second hour swung wildly around the planet, culminating in a tribute to the late Garifuna musician Andy Palacio . (And if you listened, you might have won tickets for concerts by Simon Shaheen or Omar Torrez, both of whom play in Seattle tonight.) Spin The Globe playlist for 25 January 2008 artist - song - album hour [...]
The mainstream media is weighing in today on the passing of Andy Palacio. The New York Times has a bit more detail and depth than the Los Angeles Times . Andy was so far off the MSM radar, however, that both of them have to pull quotes from NPR to flesh out their stories. And neither gets to the heart of Palacio's soft-spoken but compelling persona, which so engaged live audiences around the world. You'll find a number of Palacio videos on YouTube, some from live performances, several including Garifuna musical [...]
Despite a lot of distractions this weekend, including all those inspiring Martin Luther King Jr. Day activities and speeches, I've still got Andy Palacio on the brain. Palacio, the Garifuna musician/ambassador who passed so suddenly last week, had a fantastic album in Watina , which was one of my favorite albums of 2007. It was his first album with Cumbancha Records, and a real push toward reaffirming and spreading his Garifuna heritage. But Palacio had been on the music scene for some time. A decade ago Stonetree Records released an [...]
Andy Palacio was a remarkable human being. He made a name for himself in modern dance music, only to turn his attention to the fading culture of his Garifuna people. He was a cultural ambassador, a hugely talented writer/musician/singer, and a generous soul. Three days ago I got the word that Palacio was ill. This morning I awoke to the news that he had passed on. I am so grateful to have had a chance to meet him, when he dropped by the KAOS studios for an interview and some [...]
And I was worried I had nothing more to say about 2007... 1. Kala , M.I.A. This past summer, the population burp that came of age in the late 60s reinforced its version of that cultural moment and its historic significance by feting four decades of a certain Beatles record (WSJ link, pointed).The more nuanced, pessimistic and to my mind, better-truer, take on the Summer of Love marked its 40th anniversary in [...]
Andy Palacio is a singer-songwriter from Belize whose music blends African, Latin, and Caribbean influences. On Wátina, Palacio celebrates the Garifuna culture of Central America with the help of... **Click on the link to read the full post, download mp3s, and comment.**
