WORLD ROUTES IN BELIZE
Once a year the small town of Dangriga in Belize erupts in
noisy celebration as the Garifuna people re-enact the original
arrival of their ancestors on the coasts of Central America.
On Settlement Day all the festivities resound to traditional
Garifuna drum rhythms and singing. Accompanied by Belize's
biggest star, Andy Palacio, Lucy Duran discovers how the music
of the Garifuna forms an integral part of their unique yet fragile
culture. This was the first of four broadcasts from Central and
North America.
