You may have heard Pastor Scott Stirm call the Dugu ceremony witchcraft, but, hey, at least he didn't call the Hugu-Hugu rhythmn "devil music".
Parandero Clayton Williams is probably indifferent to all that noise.
He's a young parandero keeping the Garifuna music and traditions alive and three weeks ago in New York, he took home 5 awards at the 2016 Garifuna Music Awards.
We spoke to the relative newcomer about the recognition form his peers:
Clayton Williams, Honored at Garifuna Music Awards
"It was the Garifuna Music Award held by the Garifuna Correlation USA INC. in Bronx New York whereby I was nominated for 8 different awards and I came out with 5 of them; artist of the year, album of the year, video of the year, new artist of the year and producer of the year."

"Those are very prestigious awards. For which songs and which album did you win?"
Clayton Williams, Honored at Garifuna Music Awards
"It was my "Garifuna Nuguya" album. People might be familiar with the song "Garifuna Nuguya." That was my hit song that I released last year. I released the album last year as well and it was nominated and now I am here with 5 awards. I am happy."
His album titled, "Garifuna Nuguya" won the Album of the Year.
