OUR STORY MAY BE SAD….

One of our favorite tracks on All Around This World: Latin America is "Our Story May Be Sad," as recorded by Garifuna musician James Lovell. The song is our adaptation of the opening lines of a narrative Garifuna musical presentation (as captured on a Smithsonian Folkways field recording) in which the narrator informs the audience that the piece to come is going to be a sad one...but, in true Garifuna form, we will envelop the struggle in laughter and joy. Listen here.
