Sorry it took me so long to respond. It was only the recent repost that reminded me to check the comments.

I don’t know the Stonetree people personally, but I had to email the label’s founder Ivan Duran while I was reviewing the album and he seemed uttely nice and helpful. If you wanted to contact him (ivan at stonetreerecords.com) and ask about putting up a promotional post I’m pretty sure he’d be interested.

The review hasn’t gone up yet, as far as I can see. I’m a bit reluctant to advertise it because there must be a tonne of people out there who know more about Belize’s music than I do, and here I am writing reviews — but I suppose it’s better to have a daft review out there than no review at all.

[...] In other re-posting news, DJ Nnambi is craving some Nico Champeta, Joe wants a better lit road, and Caroline wants Paolo in Amsterdam. [...]

Paranda is brilliant stuff, agreed. Let us know when the review comes out.. and maybe even suggest to the Stonetree guys that we could put up a little post here, too, to promote it.

Following on from your mention of Belize and paranda, I’ve recently been asked to review a ten-year anniversary compilation from Stonetree, the label you mentioned back in your March post. I hadn’t heard paranda before and I thought it was brilliant stuff.

This is great. I’ve bought a lot of paranda on trips to Belize and Honduras, but I’m not familiar with champeta.

[...] [edit] Wow, I just realized that Benn Loxo posted a Nico track a couple of days ago, what are the chances of that co-incidence? [...]
