about

The Garifuna remix project is a new chapter in the history of Stonetree Records. Having built an incredible catalogue of traditional Garifuna music, and heading towards the 25th anniversary of the label, the timing is right to open the archive to the world. The work that Oonga has done, remixing music from the Umalali project, the Ayó album as well as other songs from the archive, represents a wide body of work touching on many different styles of dance music, all while maintaining a respect for the integrity and soul of the original music. Ranging from the first ever Garifuna reggaeton track to hypnotic deep house, to dubstep smashers and tropical bass explorations, the music resulting from this collaboration is sure to please discerning audiences around the world.

OONGA's story

I first heard the Garifuna Collective when I was working on communications for a music industry showcase. We were producing a show that would feature Aurelio, and to understand what vibe we were going to create, I listened to the music. Sañanaru. It hooked me in about 5 seconds, and I was captivated. Pretty quickly I was looking online for more and I found the Garifuna Collective, and finally Stonetree Records. I was completely blown away by the melodies, the rhythms, and the depth of the production. It was fantastic!

A year later, I learned that Ivan was going to be participating at my showcase. Big moments! At some point we got to talking, and he told me he was interested in remixes. Unable to contain my excitement, I asked to be a part of it. He sent me stems for Mongulu, and we were off to the races!

In the next couple months, I did a few more remixes, and then I left to travel around Central America. Ivan being the friendly guy he is, he invited me to Belize to meet some of the musicians. What resulted was a month of nonstop music at the heart of the Garifuna music community. Meeting Al Ovando, plus musicians like Lloyd Augustine, Junie Mar, Sheldon Petillo, Method, Sásamu, and a bunch of others proved to be the beginning of a journey that has led to a ton of great music, and some really nice friendships.

Going to Belize and hanging out in Dangriga allowed me to learn about the basics of punta, paranda and traditional Garifuna music, from the source. Building on my experience at Stonetree, I was able to gain a new appreciation for the music they have been putting out, and I will continue to share it everywhere I go.

Enough talk, let’s dance.
