Heartbreaking to hear of the death of Garifuna musician and ambassador Aurelio Martinez. He played a few years ago at the Norwood Village Green in St. Lawrence County. He was warm and generous with his time afterwards, talking with everyone who came up to meet him. He was a beautiful musician. We'll play his music on Friday.

The Honduran musician brought the local Afro Caribbean genre to international attention and served as his country’s first congressman of African descent
