musical and dance group. Today she brings to
her music the multi-cultural roots of her country
-- a blend of African, Caribbean, and Latin
rhythms, highlighting the PUNTA ROCK sound from
the Garifuna heritage of Southern Belize.
In 1991, her hit single "Bald Head Man" swept
the country of Belize like a storm. It remained in the
top twenties chart for several consecutive weeks, and
was nominated among the best songs of the year. Subsequently,
Bella was nominated in the category, Best New Recording
