After some popular covers like ‘TO LOVE SOMEBODY’ and ‘AIN’T NO SUNSHINE,’ singer Nando Chirino is back with another romantic Kompa.

WILLEMSTAD / SOEST – In context of the apology that the Dutch government has extended on December 19th, 2022, for its role during the slavery era, singer Brian Dekkers with Mr. Ray Bass and Kilate Tesla want to remind people of the importance of real freedom, which starts in our minds.
With the song ‘Freedom’, Brian Dekkers wants to give attention to the desire of everyone to experience real freedom, be it financial freedom, freedom in our ability to think and believe, or freedom to love and live a life with purpose.
In addition to the apology from the Dutch government on December 19th, 2022, a year that Commemorates of our Slavery Past will be launched on July 1st, 2023 until July 1st, 2024. During this year, The Dutch Government will give special attention to our past of slavery, an important and painful chapter that previously did not get much attention in our history. Within this context, the Dutch Government made 2 million euros available, via the Mondriaan fund, for activities and initiatives that contribute to the commemoration and celebration of the abolition of slavery in the Kingdom. According to Brian, an apology is a good first step, but it’s definitely not the only step that needs to be taken. “The topic is a very sensitive and important for our people, and it’s something that many still carry to this day,” he explains. Freedom, according to Brian, also relates to our way of thinking cognitively, where in the end, real freedom is in our minds, with the responsibility for how we relate to this subject.
Mr. Ray Bass – Brian Dekkers – Kilate Tesla
Freedom The singer and producer Brian Dekkers, born and raised in Curaçao, sings, writes, and produces the song ‘Freedom’ and Kilate Tesla, born Daphner Huerta in Curaçao, contributes with the backup vocals. Singer and bassist Mr. Ray Bass, born Riëndy Holder in Curaçao, plays the bass.
The collaboration between Brian Dekkers, Mr. Ray Bass and Kilate Tesla was born from a mutual connection for social matters, such as musical development and freedom of expression. “We were able to find another, which resulted in a fruitful collaboration,” Brian explains. According to Mr. Ray Bass, Brian Dekkers is one of the most influential artists from Curaçao, especially as a writer and contributor to the Curaçao sound. A few months earlier, Brian Dekkers released his EP entitled ‘Star One’, with the original version of ‘Freedom’. Considering the discussion surrounding the Dutch government’s apology for their role in slavery, Brian and Riendy decided to collaborate on this version of ‘Freedom’ that focuses on the Curaçao perspective and the norms and values that are important to us. For Kilate Tesla, it is an honor to collaborate with both artists, especially Brian D, who is a living legend and is a huge inspiration to him. “We all fight in our own way for our freedom, one battles addiction, another is stuck in his past and another is oppressed by a political regime,” Kilate explains. According to Kilate Tesla the song touched him and will touch all the people who will listen to it. During the Commemorative year of our Slavery Past, Mr. Ray Bass, Brian Dekkers, and several other Dutch Caribbean artists will execute several projects together under the name ‘Caribbean Artist Association NL’. “As a collective of artists, we created a united frontier where our Caribbean culture and identity takes central stage,” Mr. Ray Bass explains.
September 2022, Maarssen- First meeting of the Caribbean Artist Association NL
According to the artists, the message of ‘Freedom’ is simple, where we must investigate, take initiative and control of our emotions and thoughts, and really enjoy life.
You can follow Brian Dekkers on his Instagram page @briandekkers and also Mr. Ray bass on Instagram @mrraybass and Kilate Tesla on his Instagram @kilatetesla, for more information on music and future performances.

WILLEMSTAD – With ‘When I Was Younger,’ rapper Jon Tarifa, together with singer and songwriter Darren Gardner, illustrates how fascinating the mind of a child can be, and how perseverant and ambitious they are in their goals.
This fearlessness together with the urge to explore unchartered territories has taken Darren, who is originally from Port Elizabeth, South Africa, to the Netherlands, where in 2016 he moved to make a life with his partner Elsa. In the Netherlands he got the opportunity to continue to hone his musical talents, where he worked with several renowned artists like DJ Martin Garrix and Grammy winner Chris Henderson. Darren also wrote, composed, and did musical arrangements for, amongst others, Berget Lewis, and the ZO Gospel Choir. Darren considers the talented singer and producer Stanley Clementina a mentor, who introduced him to the Dutch musical industry. Consequently, Darren was exposed to several krioyo musical influences and developed a beautiful connection with our islands.

Darren was raised in a family that listened to all kinds of music, where he was exposed to artists like the Beatles, Nat King Cole, Dionne Warwick, Mariah Carey, Lauryn Hill, and even classical composers like Mozart and Beethoven. Therefore, Darren’s music is saturated with pop, R&B and jazz influences. As a student, Darren discovered his passion for the arts when he joined several school choirs and performed on many stages.

The main character played by Daicy J herself, is at a point in her life that she wants to experience peace and tranquility, while moving on a positive frequency.

Again, DAICY- J is collaborating with Twins Films to produce and direct the ‘HEY PLAYER’ video clip.
‘HEY PLAYER’is a zouk with pop influences, written, composed, and arranged by the talented producer Raniar Elizabeth. Musicians Ray Bass and Albert Windster also contributed to this song by playing the bass and piano. During the COVID 19 pandemic, Raniar focused on writing and doing his studio work, due to several lockdowns imposed on our islands where all parties and live events were suspended. As a source of inspiration he used his own personal past experiences, but also situations he observed on the daily bases.

Written by Deya Mensche – as told by Jude and Marjolein Finies
Marjolein FiniesJude Finies
The Karpata plantation, located near the scenic lake Goto, was once considered the economic backbone of Rincon, the oldest village of Bonaire. Until 1863, all land on Bonaire belonged to the Dutch government, however between 1868 and 1870, the land was auctioned and sold to private individuals. The first large landowners often named their properties after countries, for example, Bolivia, Brazil, Washington, Colombia, Lima, and Santa Barbara, just to name a few. The estate was first called Borneo and later became Karpata, to allegedly honor a bush that is still available locally and is a source of laxative castor oil. According to historic documents, Landhuis Karpata was built around 1870 and was first owned by Nechi Kraane. The estate was later bought by Józef ‘Jos’ Hart, owner of Józef Hart Sons. Besides the Karpata estate, the Hart family owned or operated several properties, such as Bolivia, Brazil, Labra and Onima. In addition to goats, Karpata also raised cattle for their hides and meat, besides producing aloe vera, charcoal, and dye wood. The products were then shipped with its own sailing ships to Curaçao and other islands.
Origins of the Finies family
The Finies family originally hail from Curaçao and can trace back their roots all the way to the French revolution and the slavery revolts in Martinique and Haiti. As they spread throughout the Caribbean islands, they eventually found their way to Curaçao and Bonaire. After moving to Bonaire, the Finies family established itself in Rincon and have remained in the area for the past five generations. Every September, the Finies clan get together for a family reunion in Aruba, Bonaire, or Curaçao, where they share the family legacy and oral history. The Finies family boasts of its own anthem, which was written by famed poet Shita Trinidad.
The Finies family worked as ‘Vito,’ or plantation administrators, of the Karpata plantation for several generations. Education was particularly important to the Finies family, hence all the children could read and write well, something exceptional for those times, since many locals were illiterate. Joseph Finies was born in 1909 in Rincon and had twelve siblings, who all grew up around Karpata. Joseph Finies’ father was the first to manage Karpata, but after his passing, his son quickly gained the trust of the Hart family and assumed the responsibilities. Joseph married Filomena Winklaar, born in 1919, who was the granddaughter of mr. Elly Wout, the district master of Rincon and the northern estates owned by Hart family. Together they had ten children, seven boys and three girls. The family grew up in a home owned by the mother of Joseph, and later two more houses were added to the premises. To this day these three houses rotate in the family as they marry and have their own respective families.

Although the job of a ‘Vito’ could sometimes be challenging and unpopular, Joseph was fair to his workers, where he was known for his work ethic and ambition . Working on Karpata and its neighboring farms was truly a family affair for the Finies,’ as Joseph’s eldest four boys, Goito, Douglas aka ‘Doei’, Broertje and also Jack, helped their father with its daily management. Although the younger children stayed home with their mom, as they got older, they did visit Karpata with their father. Marjolein, Joseph’s second to last child, also helped her father with the administration and would write up the salary slips of the workers. During WW2, Joseph Finies went to Aruba to work as a driver of the military jeeps. When he returned to Bonaire around 1945 – 46, he took over as the main ‘Vito’ or deputy director of Karpata. When Joseph returned to Bonaire, Hart obtained some of these trucks and gave them to Joseph to use.
Nicknamed ‘Sje’ or ‘Papa Sje,’ Joseph was a small and slender man, and according to Jude Finies, Marjolein’s youngest daughter, he had a quiet and purposeful disposition. As the ‘Vito,’ Joseph would wake up around 5 A.M. to pick up the workers and bring them to the five major plantations that were part of Karpata. On a daily basis about thirty to forty people worked on Karpata and its adjacent farms, where they raised animals, produced fruits and vegetables, cut aloe vera and packaged them in cement boxes. They would export the goods to Curaçao, Aruba and even to the Netherlands. Joseph and his sons also loved to fish, hunt, and drive around in the jeeps. According to Jude, her uncles admitted that they didn’t make a lot of money back then, however there was a lot of abundance of food, materials, and other necessities that they could sustain their families and also share with others. “He never sold anything to his neighbors, we always gave it away for free,’ Marjolein insists. As a result, Joseph was well respected in Rincon. Unfortunately, Joseph was diagnosed with prostate cancer and succumbed to the disease at age 85. Joseph and Filomena remained together until her death also at the age of 85.

The ’Chubat’i Porko’
The infamous military jeep was one of Joseph’s favorite vehicles to drive in the ‘kunuku’ or country side. At one point all the kids drove in this bulky vehicle that could navigate the roughest terrains. As it was customary in Bonairian culture, everything and everybody got a nickname and because of the impressive size of the vehicle that was as sturdy as a grown hog, it got named the ‘Chubat’i Porko.

The Finies brothers
Besides helping their father at Karpata, the Finies brothers loved to practice sports like football, tennis, volleyball, and martial arts. Together with other cousins and neighbors, they were also the founders of Real Rincon. Especially Goito Finies, nicknamed ‘Toto,’ was a skilled herdsman and was known for his ability to tie a bull down in order for it to be swiftly slaughtered. Douglas was incredibly good at drawing and although he never studied to become an architect, his skills were so exceptional that he drew the first homes in Rincon, which the government later bought to house the local physicians. The Finies siblings had a reputation of being keen fighters because they couldn’t stand injustice. If anything out of pocket happened in their presence, they were ready to act. They are also known for their acrobatic abilities, where they would put up shows during special events in town.

The aftermath
With the onset of the Shell refinery, Bonaire’s economy became less reliant on agriculture, and according to Marjolein, her father saw the end of Karpata coming, since he did the administration. Because of backed taxes that the Hart family owed to the government, they proceeded to seize the property from the family. The workers were usually paid with crops and provisions instead of cash, but due of the accumulating debt, the estate was unable to pay the workers accordingly. So they started to plunder the plantations out of protest and proceeded to steal the crops and other goods. It was out of necessity, Marjolein speculates, however the thieves weren’t only from Rincon, they came from outside to steal. This discouraged the owners, and Joseph in particular was affected by this. “It was like they were plundering his baby. He couldn’t even drive by Karpata anymore and see how it had landed in disarray,’ Marjolein explains.
The legacy
In its glory days, the Karpata estate employed many people and provided a livelihood for many families in Rincon. It was particularly essential during WW2, because of the food shortages on Bonaire and the neighboring islands. Although the properties belonged to the Hart family, many people worked extremely hard to make Karpata the economic backbone of Rincon that also sustained Bonaire before BOPEC. The Finies family has a clear connection with Karpata because it shaped them as freethinking people and it gave them the autonomy to work and connect with nature. Thanks to Karpata, the Finies family grew up with confidence and an awareness of who they are and what their contribution was to the greatness of Bonaire. According to Jude and Marjolein, this legacy and contribution to the advancement of the Bonairian community is a virtue that they will continue to pass on from generation to generation.

‘Yelele’ is geproduceerd en geschreven door Riëndy ‘Ray Bass aka Djego Real’ Holder en Izaline Calister, en de videoclip werd geregisseerd door Pathos Studios.
Ouder worden is een voorrecht dat we allemaal hopen te ontvangen. Jammer genoeg raken vele Caribische ouderen die nog zelfstandig wonen sociaal geïsoleerd. Vooral in Nederland is deze vereenzaming onzichtbaar. Daarom hebben het Ministerie van VWS en de NOV– de Nederlandse Organisaties Vrijwilligerswerk – het initiatief genomen om via vrijwilligerswerk de verbinding tussen de generaties te stimuleren. Hierbij staan de wensen en behoeften van de ouderen centraal. Het initiatief van de NOV leidde tot het programma ‘Samen Ouder Worden’ samen met 11 strategische partners in 40 plekken in Nederland. Samen Ouder Worden Den Haag, geleid door Shari van den Hout, legt de nadruk op Chinese en Caribische ouderen.
De ‘Yelele’ challenge
Met ‘Yelele’ gaat de uitroep tot actie gekoppeld aan een leuke ‘challenge’ dat van 15 tot 30 november loopt. Djego en Izaline nodigt iedereen uit om hun eigen ‘Yelele’ moment vast te leggen. De vraag aan eenieder is: gebruik je smartphone om een clipje van max. 1 minuut te maken, waarin je de beste dansbare interpretatie van het Yelele lied weergeeft of laat zien hoe je vrijwilligerswerk aan het doen bent. Laat de kernboodschap van het lied terugkomen, denk in je videoclip ook aan de ouderen, aan iets doen voor een ander, je wijk, vreugde en humor.
Vervolgens deel en ‘tag’ op Facebook/YeleleNederlandof Instagram @Yelele_moment met de hashtags #Yelele en #Yelelemoment. Een jury van bekende Caribische Nederlanders beoordeelt de beste interpretatie van ‘Yelele’ en kiest daar twee winnaars uit. Er zijn verschillende leuke prijzen te winnen zoals twee kaarten voor de volgende Izaline Calister concert, 1 exemplaar van de nieuwe EP van Mr. Ray Bass, ‘Come To My Island’, en een proefles voor vier personen bij dansstudio Mistura. Je geeft met je inzending toestemming om jouw videoclip op de Facebook en Instagram pagina van Yelele te delen. De winnaars worden op 7 december -Dag van de Vrijwilliger- bekend gemaakt.
Als je meer informatie wilt over het Programma Samen Ouder Worden bezoek de website www.samenouderworden.nlof stuur een whatsapp naar het team van Den Haag, Yurani en Shari, op +31619788541.

WILLEMSTAD – We all know that dynamic dancer and rapper Remses ‘MuisjeMuis’ Rafaela cannot sit still, not even during the COVID-19 pandemic. With the theatrical production ‘Wijzer’, – Dutch for Wiser – Remses writes a love letter to his own children and to every child that has to navigate “the new normal”. In a creative way, Remses chronicles the adventures of two brothers who must go to bed, but cannot fall asleep. They decide to use their imagination after they break their iPads and the result is an explosion of creativity and fantasy.

‘Wijzer’
Remses always dreamed about creating a play for children, since he is the father of two children ages seven and three. “It’s very important that our children recognize themselves in theatrical productions, since European theater is different and sometimes lacks diversity”, Remses explains. The final product is a collaboration with dancer Patrick Karijowidjojo, where Afro Caribbean rhythms are combined with Hip Hop and infused with a little Capoeira, acrobatics and shadow play. Along with talented multi-instrumentalist Stanley Clementina, Remses composed the music for ‘Wijzer’, where they used nighttime sound like for example crickets. All performances are sold out, despite the social distancing rules that only allows 30 people to attend. The reviews of ‘Wijzer’ are impressive, where the Dutch Theater Newspaper and the Dutch Dance Magazine praised the production. For those interested in the Netherlands, the ‘Wijzer’ performance on November 29th is already sold out, but there are still some tickets available for performances on December 2, 5, and 6. ‘Wijzer’ will tour throughout December in the Netherlands and more dates will be added at the Maas Theater. You can check the websitewww.maastd.nl for more information.

Big things on the way
Remses reflects on a successful 2019, where you could see him as the principal dancer in a B-Boy production at the Maas theater. He didn’t sleep on his musical endeavors either, where during the last carnival season, he released the song ‘Fangu nan’ with rapper DANDO and later launched ‘Mi Love’ on the popular American urban website Worldstar. Little by little, Remses is leaving his mark on the Dutch art world and his contribution and dedication is being recognized. For the next few years, you can see Remses at an exhibition representing Curaçao at the ‘Wereldmuseum’, located in Rotterdam. For 2021, you can expect more great music from MuisjeMuis with some very interesting collaborations.

Remses promises that he will do everything in his power to bring ‘Wijzer’ to our islands in 2021.’Today children play many hours on their iPad and do not see another physically”, Remses explains. When the Maas Theater asked him to create a play for young children, he knew exactly what subjects he wanted to cover. “I want to teach children how to explore and allow their minds to work,” he concludes. I wanted my children to know that it is important to use their imagination and play with what they have at their disposal. The play is a tribute to the child’s physical play and fantasy”. Remses is open to work with the right partners, so they can also delight the children with music and dance.

WILLEMSTAD – Antillean people have an ongoing love affair with a variety of musical rhythms, however the Kompa and Cadans, popularized by pioneers Kassav, holds a special place in our hearts.

To this day, Clementina is the only graduate from the Antilles that has two degrees from a Dutch conservatorium, specifically in Pop Vocals and also Bass Guitar World Music. Clementina’s musical versatility is showcased with every composition he creates. Recently Clementina released the single ‘Quarantaine’ with his Kompa band C-Shaw, where a several Caribbean musical influences were combined and the final product was an infectious rhythmic fusion. He also showcases the beauty of Papiamentu infused with Spanish, English and French.

The main protagonist of the video clip is the talented singer and actress from Cape Verde, Jeryh Luz, and director Darren Gardner from Gardner Creations, directed the clip.
