A song of the same title as the book was produced by Belizean Artists to complement this book which is now available on Apple Ipad. Jovaisa told us why he decided to add a song to his project - first we start with the song by Tanya Carter and joint project:

Marius Jovaisa, Author/Photographer
"Well in the beginning it was a book, a printed version of the book, just like in my home country Lithuania it grew up bigger than just a book its multimedia experience so we constructed a video using the photographs, the still pictures that I took with some special computer graphics technology and then I needed some kind of soundtrack to go along with it. In the beginning we were looking for something readily available but then we so happen to find these 3 young guys and they said let us try it and so they created and recorded a beautiful song Heavenly Belize to go a long with those pictures and I fell so much in love with that song."

Alexis Milan, Joint Project
"The manager of the group is Marissa and I know her for many years, she has been good friend of the family and she is the one who made the introduction between us and Arias and Marius and they sat down and told us they were interested in a song for the project that they were working on and so we got together and we made a song for them to hear and they listen to it and they like it and so we went from there, we made changes and improvements and the song ended up being what it is right now."

Marius Jovaisa, Author/Photographer
"The one we have at this moment is constructed from the still photographs that I took during this photographic journey one and a half years back and forth to Belize and it's like thousands and thousands of pictures that I took and now its readily available for anybody to look at YouTube. You just type in heavenly Belize and you will get it video together with a song but now my idea is to shoot the actual musical video with the singers, the people, the dancers in live locations and we are going to make the preparations this week and the end of October we are going to show that video."

The song which is performed by the group Joint Project also features Baltas Aras and Tanya Carter can be seen on Youtube.
