Three great singers who choose to travel around the world, adapting their personal styles and their ways of live. A lifetime of musical discovery. Where do they feel at home? How did they meet? What do they have in common? Where do they want to go? The show premiered at Leiden, on 10 November. Review by Stan Rijven in Trouw, 12-11-2010 (Dutch). Review on Cultuurpodium. The three women know how to celebrate their musical journey with a lot of laughter. They enjoy and inspire the audience and each other with their beautiful songs and stories of their childhood, and with challenging new songs. Singing in half a dozen different languages: Papiamentu, Spanish, Malaisian, English, Portuguese and the language of their homeland: Dutch. Check the schedule for dates and venues.

My first Xmas- and NewYear-cd! 21-10-’11  My new CD is ready! It’s called ‘Di Fiesta’ and the songs on it in one way or another are all very close to me. I'd like you to consider them as my gifts to you: 13 musical presents from ‘Mother Xmas’ Izaline :) As the holiday season is almost upon us and a new year beckons, I would love for you to join me in this festive mood I’m in. Photography: Brett Russel ‘Di Fiesta’ is the way we describe in Papiamento the feeling of being in a festive mood. The CD is filled with cheerful Christmas and New Year songs. Some of the songs people from the Dutch Caribbean grew up with. Others are familiar in other languages but were translated into Papiamento. I even wrote a few new ones and hope you will like them. For the CD I invited a few of my musical friends to celebrate with me. For instance, my friend Yumarya and I sing a great salsa together. Then there's a very festive track by ‘Grupo di Betico’ from Aruba with me as their lead-singer. Very special to me is a 2001 recording I found of a Christmas Show presentation by Nydia Ecury. I added new music and the voices of singing children to her words and included the track as a tribute to this great artist. ‘Di Fiesta’ will soon be available at Mensing’s Caminada (Curaçao) and some selected shops on Aruba. We’ll keep you posted! To all fans in The Netherlands: ‘Di Fiesta’ is now available through this site. Click here. To buy online MP3’s of ‘di Fiesta’ cd, CLICK.
