In a small Central American country
with a population of 270,000, three
veteran musicians share moments of their
daily lives with us.
Paul Nabor, 79 year old fisherman
and legendary Garifuna composer has
played the same guitar for 53 years.
Even though he has forgotten most
of his songs, his spirit remains strong.
Florencio Mess, a Maya harp player,
spends his solitude making
traditional violins, guitars and harps
as he awaits for his next trip
outside his small village.
Creole accordionist, Wilfred Peters,
is proud to have played for the Queen
of England, his ineffable charm and
humor is his ideal antidote for the
old age.
Each, in their own way, remind us
that nothing is eternal, as time goes
by and progress settles in. Despite the lack of interest by the
younger generation, these three extraordinary
men offer us a glimpse of hope, freedom
and humanity.
