    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Garifuna Popular Music “Renewed”: Authenticity, Tradition, and Belonging in Garifuna World Music A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology by Amy Lynn Frishkey 2016 © Copyright by Amy Lynn Frishkey 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Garifuna Popular Music “Renewed”: Authenticity, Tradition, and Belonging in Garifuna World Music by Amy Lynn Frishkey Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Roger Savage, Chair For almost thirty years, the electronically driven dance music punta rock remained the only popular music genre indigenous to the Garifuna, an African-Amerindian group based along Central America’s Caribbean coast with U.S. diasporic communities. In 2007, however, a new genre ushered in by the award-winning album Wátina (I Called Out) by Andy Palacio and the Garifuna Collective effectively displaced punta rock as the musical icon of Garifuna identity and modernity to the outside world and attained much broader appeal. What I term Garifuna World Music (GWM) arose from the vision of Belizean producer Ivan Duran and Belizean Garifuna punta rock star Palacio to import the acoustic and reflective emphases of traditional music into the commercial realm in order to promote cultural and linguistic preservation internationally. However, they also conceived the genre as a means for securing Garifuna music a foothold within the world music industry, presenting a sustainable music career as a viable option for ii Garifuna musicians for the first time. Periodic tourist witnessing of secular traditional song- dance performances has long been a component of community life, yet the effects of musically dovetailing tradition with Euro-Anglo cosmopolitan desires are newly felt.
