P2P | 23 January 2024 | 244 MB
This sample pack features traditional Garifuna ritual and dance music performed by the New Orleans-based ensemble Grupo Yurumeina. The Garifuna are an Afro-Indigenous people from the Caribbean, whose traditions date back hundreds of years to their homeland of Yurumein (also known as the island of St. Vincent). Handmade instruments are central to Garifuna music, including drums, shakers, guiros, and claves, often created from conches, turtle shells, tree trunks, hollowed gourds, and other natural materials. Garifuna music is a rich synthesis of West African and indigenous Latin American rhythms and vocal traditions, connecting communities with their ancestors and sacralizing their ceremonies.
