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). The music of the Dugu ceremony and Máscaro dance are featured prominently in this set of samples — Dügü is the music associated with the Garifuna healing ceremony, which often calls on the spirits of the ancestors to cure the sick and bring balance to a community.
