I remember wanting ‘papi’ to tell it over and over again. Although it is one of the saddest tales I have ever heard, I loved this story so much that I never forgot it. Later in my quest for knowledge about the source of this tale I met mister Elis Juliana, a great and respected poet, sculptor, ethnographer and chronicler of the Antillean cultural heritage. He told me the story again and provided me with recorded versions of himself telling the story in 1980 and of the man who told him the story originally in 1963, the then 90 year old Gabriel Noor. I also heard traces of the ‘vlemayó’-melody in the film ‘Almacita di Desolato’ by Antillean filmmakers Felix de Rooy and Norman de Palm. These versions all had a personal distinct interpretation. The use of the language, the timing and the ‘vlemayó’-melody often were different. So I decided to contribute an additional, personal and free adaptation of this part of my youth. Using the story as a framework, Pernell and I went into the studio. Treating it as a song we created our own version based on recordings, memories, coincidence and improvisation.’ 9 Pará E.
