Uganu (News) from Aban by The Garifuna Collective

A strong component of Garifuna song is storytelling, giving advice, and sharing news. This song begins with someone named Miss Rose bringing terrible news: a body has been found by the beach. They are crying in Dangriga and will make a tomb the beach. They sing to the dead “Get up, don’t stay here by yourself.” As they repeat the lines over and over, trying to will the dead back to life, their pain is shared throughout the community.
