GARIFUNA ICON AURELIO MARTINEZ DIES IN PLANE CRASH
In 1987, a compilation of Central American Garifuna music, or punta rock, was recorded in Andy Palacio's Sunrise Recording Studio and released to great acclaim. It featured the unique sound created by Garifuna communities, mainly in Belize and Honduras. Palacio was the big star of punta rock, a popular style in the Caribbean and Central America.
The Garifuna people are a mix of Carib, African (mainly from Nigeria via Jamaica) and Spanish; they were originally known as the "black Caribs" of St Vincent Island. Fiercely independent, they developed a sound based on their triple cultural heritage and rooted in traditional styles like paranda.
Punta rock was well known in the region but not internationally; that changed in 1989, when a cover of the single Bikini Panti found its way onto global dancefloors.
