Acclaimed for both his preservation and modernization of this musical tradition, Aurelio's virtuosity is found in his distinctive, soulful vocals and his talent as a songwriter. With the sea as his constant companion, Aurelio makes music that spans tragic history and ancestral ceremonies, music sparked by a childhood in a tiny coastal hamlet and the spirit of his late friend and mentor, Garifuna musical icon Andy Palacio. Aurelio is the tradition-bearer for a unique culture with African, Caribbean Indian, and Latin influences, but also a thoroughly modern artist determined to break new ground for his age-old roots.
