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.
