New Orleans Jazz Fest Spotlights Belize | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

Belize is the focus of this year's Cultural Exchange at the New Orleans Jazz Fest, which starts tomorrow.  The Garifuna Collective, TR Shine, Sweet Pain with Chico Ramos and Supa G, and the Wageirale Drummers are some of the Belizean performers.  Hope they have a great time sharing their wonderful music.

 

"This year, festival goers will have the opportunity to hear music, see demonstrations and learn about the history and customs of the small Caribbean country of about 300,000, which includes people of Maya, Mestizo, Creole, East Indian, Garifuna, Chinese, Lebanese, Mennonite and Caribbean descent. The country was under British rule until 1981. The national language is English."
