Youth Singing Dande
Jonathan Croes
Tuesday we went to support our Dande singer Jonathan Croes who was Dande youth king for the last two years. Even though he didn’t took the big price this time he did pretty well. We were very happy to see him perform. The crown went this time to the young singer Brandon Rincones in the age category from 10-13 years of age. He gave a great performance.
Dande is a tradition during New Years Eve In Aruba when musicians go from door to door in the neighbourhood to wish people all the best for the new year. They sing to a person whereafter this person put some money in the hat. Usually they get some spirits to drink and some food before leaving for the next neighbours’ house. At the end of the day sometimes they’re all drunk and go home.
