about

07 - Black 'n' Red (ENG)

The Garífuna are a mixed ethnic group descended from the indigenous Maya Q'eqchi Indians and black African slaves. They’ve made music a symbol of identity that differentiates them from other indigenous peoples. In November, the “Dia nacional del pueblo Garífuna” is celebrated in the city of Livingston (Guatemala). A 24-hour of ceremonies, dances and songs in the Arawak language to celebrate the anniversary of the landing of the Garífuna on the Caribbean coast from the island of San Vicente (1797). The songs are often in the form of dialogue and the themes are the village life, sowing and harvesting. The frenetic dance to the rhythm of the percussion is called “Punta”: the left foot rotates back and forth, while the right beats the time. This movement causes a sinuous sway of the hips, a symbol of the unstoppable fertility of the Garífuna women who’ll never allow the extinction of their people.
Field recording:
In this track the choirs were recorded in the Evangelical Church of the Nazarene. The title of the a cappella is "Sunn Wadagarati" which in Arawak language means "Thanks to the sea that has given us a new life". The percussion was recorded during the parades of the “Dia Nacional de pueblo Garifuna”.

07 – Black ‘n’ Red (ITA)

I Garífuna sono un gruppo etnico misto discendente dagli indigeni Maya Q’eqchi pellerossa e dagli schiavi neri africani. Hanno fatto della musica un emblema identitario che li differenzia dalle altre popolazioni indigene. A novembre, nella città di Livingston (Guatemala), si festeggia il “Dia nacional del pueblo Garífuna”. Una 24 ore di cerimonie, balli e canti (in lingua arawak) celebra l’anniversario dello sbarco dei Garífuna sulle coste caraibiche dall’isola di San Vicente (1797). Le canzoni sono spesso in forma di dialogo e hanno come tema la vita di villaggio, la semina e il raccolto. La danza frenetica al ritmo delle percussioni è detta “Punta”: il piede sinistro ruota avanti e indietro, mentre il destro scandisce il tempo. Questo movimento provoca un sinuoso ondeggiamento di anche, simbolo dell’inarrestabile fertilità delle donne Garífuna che mai permetteranno l’estinzione del proprio popolo.

Field recording:
In questo brano i cori sono stati registrati nella chiesa Evangelica del Nazareno. Il titolo del canto a cappella è “Sunn Wadagarati” che in lingua Arawak significa “Grazie al mare che ci ha donato una nuova vita”. Le percussioni sono state registrate durante le parate del “Dia Nacional de pueblo Garifuna”.
