Andy Palacio:
Garifuna Legend
 On
December 2nd, 1960 Andy Palacio was born in Barranco. A village
in the Toledo District of Belize. His father Reuben was a
fisherman-farmer who played English folk songs and popular radio
hits on harmonica and guitar. He taught Andy how to play
harmonica. At high school in nearby Punta Gorda, Andy took up
the guitar and played Soul, Reggae and Soca music. "I wanted to
be like Bob Marley" he said.
Growing up listening to traditional Garifuna music as well as
the tunes from Honduras, Guatemala, the Caribbean and the United
States, music was always a part of his daily life. . .

Belizean Actor
Curtis Gillet:
"NOH MATTA WAT"
 dA
NetWork: You just recently completed your latest Belizean

that brought my involvement into the well received Belizean soap
opera, NOH MATTA WAT. In 2003, I self-produced a play "DEAR
COUNSELLOR" and Kim Vasquez, one of the writers of NMW assisted
me greatly in my production. The production could not
afford to pay Kim and so we agreed that when she does her next
project I will return the favor of assisting her.
