New CD! 15-09-’12 Three years after the release of the Edison-award winning ‘Speransa’ –‘This is easily one of the best world music albums I have ever reviewed’ (Inside World Music)– Izaline Calister presents her new CD: Kandela!
The title, meaning ‘Fire’, stands for warmth and passion, all terms widely associated with Latin America. And that's just the direction Calister took with this record. Hence the subtitle – Un Kanto pa Latino Amérika (A song for Latin America).
On the sunny island of Curaçao, Izaline grew up with Cuban bolero’s, Brazilian bossa nova’s, Venezuelan traditionals and Mexican mariachi's her father loved to listen to.
Izaline: ‘This has been such a great part of my musical upbringing. I wanted to do something with that. In combination with the classical and traditional music from Curaçao, I had a very warm and rhythmical youth filled with great melodies. In 2012 my father turns 82, and I want to honor him and the continent of South America that brought me such beautiful music and great inspiration.’
The release-date for The Netherlands is planned on 26 October. CD-presentation-concert will be on 8 November, in Het Paard, Den Haag.
CD-release-parties on Aruba on 30 October and 1 November, on Curaçao on 3 and 4 November.
