"The stories they tell in their music are culled from the struggles and sorrows of everyday life." — NPR

Blending the rich vocal textures of women from the Garifuna communities of Central America with echoes of rock, blues, funk, African, Latin and Caribbean music, Umalali is an entrancing journey into the heart and soul of a unique and inspiring culture. Afro-Carribean vocals and percussion, along with visuals that enhance the experience, all tell a story that is heart rending and totally authentic — one that has been passed down from generation to generation. A truly moving experience.
