The Belize National Dance Company and the Galen Eagles Band performed together at Carifesta.  Joris Hendrik was there to record some of the performance.  They looked and sounded great.  There's another week of festivities to come.

 

The opening ceremony was spectacular, and are definitely worth a watch.  The light show and the music, with some dub step in there, was awesome.
