The Garifuna Collective has performed in over 30 countries in 5 continents and have been part of the most celebrated Garifuna albums of all time, including the critically acclaimed Wátina, recipient of the Womex and BBC World Music Award and voted by Amazon as the Number One World Music Album of All Time.
They are a seasoned collective of musicians from across different generations, with a dynamic that comes from of playing and traveling the world together, sharing their music and stories with global audiences. Their performances spark the history and soul of Garifuna culture into vivid life. While their recordings dip into the massive well of Garifuna songs to create new compositions — some of the singers in the band know hundreds of songs!
Secret Planet State College is Central Pennsylvania’s branch of a broader East Coast network of community-minded presenters dedicated to bringing adventurous international and culturally rooted artists to smaller American markets. Operating through a Community Supported Music model, the series helps offset the financial risk of touring while giving local audiences access to globally respected performers they would rarely encounter otherwise. Curated by Gorinto Productions and anchored largely at Manny’s Live Performance Space, Secret Planet State College has become a consistent platform for borderless live music, artist exchange, workshops, and collaborative community events that connect rural Pennsylvania to a much wider cultural conversation
