GUILLERMO ANDERSON, HONDURAN MUSICIAN

Hello everybody,

I am so sorry for the lack of updates, i´ts been complicated because i moved again and i had to settle before coming back to my blog.
This day i want to share with you a new artist, and his name is Guillermo Anderson. He is a honduran musician and composer, he wrote several song that are very well known in my country.
So here is a bit of his life:

Guillermo Anderson is Honduras’s best-known World Music Artist. Based in the lively Caribbean port of La Ceiba, GUILLERMO ANDERSON and his band CEIBANA, infuse Afro-Caribbean percussions with contemporary sounds, local rhythms, and folklore of Honduras' coastal regions. Performances are spiced with the merging of Honduran Garífuna rhythms such as "Parranda" and "Punta" with better-known reggae, salsa and other Caribbean styles.


His concerts celebrate love, nature and everyday life in this part of the Caribbean. As an artist Guillermo has played an important role in Honduras bringing awareness on important issues like the protection of the environment, health and literacy. His song “En Mi Pais” is already an alternative national anthem in Honduras. His concert and recording “Para Los Chiquitos", a recording aimed at familiarizing children with rainforest species in danger of extinction have gained him a wide children's audience in Honduras.  
I went to a couple of concerts, and let me tell you he is really good, passionate and full of energy, i particulary liked the garifuna´s sound that he uses sometimes, here is a picture of one of this performances:


 And now, the important, here are his songs, i will share some of his youtube videos, so you can have an idea of what kind of music he does:


This song is called " El Encarguito" its about the national food for the inmigrants in the US


En mi pais. In my country
This is probably the more famous song of Anderson, its really nice and sweet.
