NEW CD!!!! Randal Corsen & Friends recently recorded a new CD, featuring contemporary folklore music from his island of birth. The CD is titled ‘Dulsura di Korsou’ (Sweetness of Curaçao), and will be released soon on AJA records.It features some of Randal’s best musical friends: bassist Eric Calmes, guitarist Ulrich De Jesus, percussionists Pernell Saturnino and Eric Brigitha, and drummer Enrique Firpi, joined by vocalists Yeye Bernadina, Shirma Rouse and Arlette Koeijers, percussionist Roel Calister, and trombonists David Rotschild and Hector Sampson. The songs on the CD are from different composers from Curaçao, covering more than 100 years of musical history and tradition of the island. ‘With this CD another wish of mine comes true. I always wanted to record a CD with folklore music from my island of birth. People have been asking me for such a recording for years. Some of the songs I’ve been playing since I was a child. I had great fun to work with my musical friends in the studio. I hope the result shows a little bit of the rich diversity of music from Curaçao.’
The CD will be available soon at AJA records. |
