Putumayo & Cumbancha inaugurate their World Music Series at Higher Ground with the soulful Afro-Caribbean grooves of Andy Palacio & the Garifuna Collective. Central America and the Caribbean come together in the music of Andy Palacio, a groove-heavy creation that sounds positively Cuban, as well as, sometimes Brazilian and African. With members from Belize, Guatemala and Honduras, Andy Palacio & the Garifuna Collective blend the sounds of Africa and the Caribbean to create a powerful, upbeat and moving mix that has earned them comparisons to the Buena Vista Social Club and Paul Simon's Graceland.
