Bringing old school punta music back to life

07/01/05
By: Jorge Garifuna
Some people claim that the old school punta was the real punta, some other ones dismiss it as out of style, but can the old punta music still be rescued?

A visitor from PuntaMusic.com recently wrote “When are you guys going to bring back old punta like, Laruni Hati, Estrellas Ubou, you know music like that, when Punta was punta”

If most people that have had some taste of the classic punta feels this way, what can the Garifuna community do at this point to level up this precious cultural music? Should we just sit back and let it all die, or should we all step up to the plate and make the tradition live on for another 200 years?

In politics, when there is a serious problem that affects the local community, the public is asked to call their local representative to make them aware of their concerns and then the local representative takes the matter to the state level representative, which then takes it to the national level representative, if necessary.

But this is not politics, this is a great culture that is at stake here and having your punta music problems resolved does not need to be that complicated. Garinet Global has already invested years of development of a great system that allows for punta music to be distributed on a global scale, whether you are in Japan, Germany or Argentina.

If you’ve already searched the PuntaMusic.com online catalog and you have not found your old school punta, I would like to ask you for a huge favor:

Please provide us with the name of the band or artist, the name of the album, if known and the contact information (phone or email) of the person in charged of the album, if known and we will do our best to bring your great old school punta music back to life. The more requests we get the higher the priority we will give the album and the more we will fight for you to make that album available.

With a little bit of your input, old school punta can be brought back to life! and you can be an integral part of the process. Make the next 200 years of Garifuna music history be a reality today, by simply providing us with the names of the bands/artists, the name of the album, if known and the contact information (phone or email) of the person in charged of the album, if known.
