Curaçaoan singer celebrates 25-year career with special jubilee concert.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
‘Izaline Calister Makes History at BIMHUIS’, headlined the NRC in 2000 following the CD presentation of her debut album in our venue. As a crowning achievement of her career, the singer now returns after exactly 25 years with a new program combining her most beautiful songs and new music.
Calister’s music is a fusion between the traditional music of her birth island Curaçao and jazz with Afro-Caribbean influences. Her body of work connects language regions through translations and her own versions of Dutch and Curaçaoan songs. She has released nine CDs under her own name; has many hits in Curaçao and Aruba; has been honored with an Edison award (2009) and was knighted (2018) for her work and the attention to our slavery past in her music theater performances.
‘This tumba queen sang captivating Antillean songs. She added jazz and salsa, walked barefoot as always, and thus made the ode to the Chopin of Curaçao passionate.’ (NRC)
