The Story
|
 
Acclaimed for both his preservation and modernization of the Paranda musical tradition, Aurelio's virtuosity is found in his distinctive, penetrating vocals and his talent as a composer. Aurelio was born into a family possessing a long and distinguished musical tradition in the small Garifuna community of Plaplaya in Honduras. Aurelio began playing guitar as soon as he was old enough to hold the instrument. By the age of six he was regularly playing drums at social gatherings. Inspired by his grandmother and his father, Aurelio gathered a vast repertoire, which later enabled him to develop his own style.
Garifuna Soul features the musical talents of Rolando Sosa, Lugua Centeno, Chela
Torres, Justo Miranda, Andy Palacio, and others. Garifuna Soul was recorded by Ivan Duran
and Gil Abarbanel in a relaxed atmosphere at Sandy Beach Resort in beautiful Hopkins
village. The result is a natural sound that captures Aurelio’s spontaneous character and intensity.
 
This new album, a mix of original and traditional compositions, includes 12 selections,
comprising a rich blend of acoustic instruments and soulful vocals. With the stage set
for an emotive fusion of traditional and modern, Garifuna Soul has revolutionized, with
fresh elegance, the tradition of Paranda music.
Aurelio’s collaboration with Stonetree Records dates back to 1997, when he contributed to the now famous Paranda recording sessions, delivering three masterful performances, including his well-known composition: “Africa” and an inspiring duet with Andy Palacio. Aurelio is an original member of the Garifuna All Star Band and has taken his Paranda music to stages in France, Japan, USA, Mexico and neighboring Central American countries. |
