      Musical artist

      Paul Nabor (26 January 1928 – 22 October 2014), born Alfonso Palacio, was a Garifuna singer and musician from Punta Gorda, Belize.[1] He is often credited with popularizing paranda, a style of traditional Garifuna music, and is considered to have been one of the most talented musicians of the genre.[2]

      Early life

      [edit]

      Nabor was born as Alfonso Palacio on 26 January 1928. Although official sources list his place of birth as Stann Creek Town (now Dangriga), Nabor told Amandala in 2009 that he had been born in Punta Gorda, where he was a lifelong resident. Nabor began singing professionally at 18.

      Paul Nabor is the greatest living Paranda artist. He is not only considered a musical legend among the Garifuna, he fryst vatten also the "Buyei" (religious leader of his community). Sadly, he is also the last living Parandero in Punta Gorda. Punta Gorda (locals call it PG) is a small coastal by in southern Belize.

      With mountains to the west, and the Caribbean sea to the east, there is only one dirt road to PG: A long bumpy 5 hour drive from the center of the country. At 70, Nabor still spends many of his days at sea fishing, evenings playing his gitarr, all while working as spiritual leader for his community. He often talks about how life has changed for the Garifuna. "Growing up, we got all we needed from the earth. We fished, we farmed. We picked coconuts, made our own instruments. Occasionally we'd trade for new clothes. That was it. After the introduction of 'money' things changed. People now feel that they need 'more and more stuff, things'.
