FRONTLINE/World reporter Marco Werman travels
around the world in search of fascinating music and musicians
as a reporter for PRI's The World -- a job, he admits,
that's "the best on the planet." A veteran journalist,
Werman is currently senior producer with The World, covering
music for the program.

My plane was full of scuba divers and snorkelers watching
Pirates of the Caribbean on their way out to the
tourist spots on the Western Hemisphere's biggest barrier
reef. Belize is a center for ecotourism, with wildlife
ranging from manatees to jaguars -- few foreigners come
to hear music.

This was the first picture I took, about 30 minutes after
arriving. It took that long for the camera to defog in
Belize's humidity.
|
It rains every day in Belize City. During the last hurricane,
there was severe flooding. There are roads, but also two
main creeks that people navigate to get across town.
|
Dangriga is the biggest Garifuna settlement in Belize.
It's beautiful, but I was staying in a horrible, dank,
leaky hotel room that was like a wet jail cell. I couldn't
sleep, so I went outside and found people on the beach
watching the sunrise.
