NAGUYA NEI

“Naguya Nei” is an animated visualizer for Paul Nabor’s song of the same title.

Nabor’s music belongs to Paranda, an afro-indigenous music genre local to the artist’s home country, Belize. Unfortunately, Paranda’s prominence in modern Belizean culture is fading. Naguya Nei re-interprets a cultural artefact into a contemporary access point suited to the new, digitally native audience. Paranda is presented as a point of cultural relevance, capable of mending generational and cultural division using visual art as a vessel for renewed engagement.
