Critics around the world acknowledge Paranda as being one of the best albums to come out of Central America.
This is an incredibly rich collection, with a depth and range that grows with each listen. From the haunting, bluesy exuberance of Paul Nabor's Naguya nei to the fresh sounds of Aurelio Martinez's Africa and on to the primal urgency of Lugua Centeno's Timbloru, Paranda takes the listener through the tapestry of feeling and soulful striving that lies at the heart of Garifuna culture.
Producers Ivan Duran and Gil Abarbanel brought together three generations of legendary Garifuna composers and musicians from Belize, Honduras and Guatemala to produce a landmark recording that sparked the revival of Paranda music in the region.
Listed as one of the 100 essential recording of the Caribbean and Latin America by Rough Guide books, Paranda is a rare gem.
