Post Description

The Garifuna Women's Project is musical collection of stories, organized and produced by Ivan Duran. The album is built upon the voices of local women in Belize, Honduras, Nicaragua and Guatemala. The Garifuna people are residents of these country's Caribbean coasts.

In the 1700's, during Spanish Colonial rule, West African slaves were shipwrecked on the Caribbean Island of St. Vincent. The people inhabited the coast line and intermarried with the native Arawak indians, where they lived peacefully until they were exiled by British government.

In 1997, Ivan Duran set out to capture the story's of the Garifuna Women. Duran began by connecting with many of the women in the various villages that he visited. After getting a sense for the types of voices that he wanted to have on the album, Duran began setting up small recoding studios, in shacks, by the water.[Notes 2] The majority of the women featured on the album are not professional musicians, so part of Duran's task was to be able to pull them away from their daily tasks to record.

The Garifuna Women's Project is the natives collection of stories, stories of "of hurricanes that swept away homes and livelihoods, a son murdered in a far-off village, the pain of childbirth and other struggles and triumphs of daily life. Then there are the personal stories of the women who participated in this magical recording project: mothers and daughters who, while working tirelessly to support their families, sing songs and pass on the traditions of their people to future generations."
