about

The first songs in this medley is about a child of poor parents who is shipped off to The Netherlands and his/her first impressions upon arriving there. “Alélimo” is a song of old Spanish origins and its variants can be found throughout Latin America. I juxtaposed the original Spanish version with the version that is sung in Curaçao. The original version is about a collapsed bridge in need of repair. However, the Lord responsible for fixing up the bridge doesn’t have the funds to do so. Hence the humorous suggestion of using eggshells to carry out the restoration. An interesting note is that the eggshells survived in the Curaçaoan version even though the placement of the word completely differs from the original lyrics. Ban, ban pas’un ròndu is a game in which
a child is surrounded by a circle of spinning children. When the song is through the surrounded child, who’s name is used in the song, appoints another child to go stand in the middle, and the whole thing repeats again.
