In this special episode, we explore one of his greatest artistic achievements: his powerful mentorship with West African superstar Youssou N'Dour through the Rolex Mentor and Protégé Arts Initiative.
We delve into how this landmark collaboration fulfilled Aurelio's dream of reconnecting Garifuna music with its ancestral roots and how his legacy continues to ensure the vibrant future of his culture.
