Voices from Letters: Zikinzá

The theatrical musical Voices from Letters is an ode to my ancestors, to the Curaçoan music, languages, traditions and culture. Zinkinzá, is a collection of stories, songs and anecdotes recorded  in Curaçao by Dutch missionary and anthropologist Paul Brenneker and Curaçoan writer and poet “Ompi” Elis Juliana in the 1950's and 60's and classified by UNESCO as 'Memory of the World'. 

Zinkinzá forms the starting point and is the inspiration for this storytelling musical and visual performance.

Papia – The birth of a language - by Vanta

The Amsterdam based band Koffie has a new take on Afrobeat. Inspired by this Nigerian style, this eight-piece band mixes endless beats with swoops of improvisation. Their live shows have the dynamic of a house party and when they play, DJ's become obsolete.

Papia – The birth of a language - by Vanta

Papia – The birth of a language - by Vanta

Papia is a musical, poetic and visual performance about the origins of Papiamento. Papia means to talk in Papiamento. The history of this language is intriguing, because it originated at a time when people from different parts of the world came to live in Curaçao. Papiamento is proof that language can transcend all social and cultural differences.

In the 1930s, Max Woiski Sr. (1911-1981) was one of the first Surinamese to come to the Netherlands by boat. He is best known for his nightclub La Cubana and his cheerful music. Woiski vs Woiski shows that his beautiful life however, only takes place outside his own home.

Symbiosis - with Randal Corsen

Woiski vs. Woiski - Orkater & Bijlmer Parktheater

Symbiosis is partly jazz, partly an homage to Curaçao. A seminal album by one of Curaçao's most accomplished jazz piano player, the album also regrouped some of the finest musicians from the Dutch music scene, who have since grown their own respective careers.
