BEST DIVORCE
ATTORNEY
Singer-songwriter, guitarist,
percussionist, and
political activist, Aurelio
Martinez is one of Central
America’s most gifted performers.
Born in Honduras
into a family of talented
paranda musicians, the
artist is today known as the
Cultural Ambassador of the
Garifuna nation. Together,
with his band Garifuna
Soul, Aurelio has taken
Garifuna music around
the world, with multiple international
tours and four
acclaimed solo albums released
since 2004. The most
recent, 2017’s Darandi was
recorded at Peter Gabriel’s
famed Real World Studios
in the UK.
The Garifuna, also
known as The Garinagu,
are people of Amerindian
and West African descent
who live along the coasts of
Belize, Guatemala, Nicaragua,
and Honduras. While
deeply rooted in the mix
of African, Caribbean, and
Latin sounds that make up
the traditional repertoire
of Garifuna music, Aurelio
is carrying this rich culture
into the future.
NYC’s own Wabafu
Garifuna Dance Company
will join Aurelio as
the evening’s opening act.
This Bronx-based ensemble
represents the Garifuna
community in New York,
and is dedicated to preserving
and sharing the rich
Garifuna culture nationwide
through live music,
song, drama, and dance.
The show is being held at
(le) poisson rouge Thursday,
December 16, 2021.
Doors open at 6:30 pm.
158 Bleecker Street in
Historic Greenwich Village
in Manhattan.
Event date is 12/16 at 6:30
pm.
