Mariposa

Butterfly


On this her second album Izaline reverted further back to the traditional rhythms and musical styles of Curaçao. For example she recorded ‘Vlamayo Cositu’ with probably 200 year old lyrics about a mother who is unable to protect her child of famine, thirst, illness and eventually, death. A story that is characteristic for the lives of thousands of mothers in 19th century Curaçao. On track 4. ‘M’a Yeg’atrobe’ you can hear the kachu, a wind-instrument made of a cowhorn, as it was used in traditional séu music. On this CD the cachu was blown by Nacho Geertruida. For the authentic tambú sound on this CD Izaline was very thankfull for the support of Grupo Trinchera.
Izaline is being accompanied by her regular band in those days with Randal Corsen, Eric Calmes, Pernell Saturnino and Niata Augusta.
