Andy Palacio was a Garifuna musician and activist born in Belize. He has been credited for spearheading the revival of Garifuna music in the 1990s. His song “Watina” (“I Called Out”) was on his studio album of the same name with the Garifuna Collective released in 2007, shortly before he passed in 2008. The previous year he told NPR: “I decided to use music as a medium for cultural preservation. At least we’d be able to use the language in the songs and keep them alive.”
