The Third Annual Festival

The day

Live music, ritual, movement and storytelling honoring the bond between people of the African diaspora, Indigenous communities and the ocean.

The program included a GarifunaRobics workout, a DJ set by DJ Wavy Fox, vendors, an art tent and a roda de capoeira.

Headliner: Bodoma's Garifuna Cultura Band

A group from Honduras carrying traditional Garifuna music: powerful vocals over deep percussion, sung as communal call and response.
