ACE Foundation yesterday afternoon announced during a press conference several projects that this foundation will lead this year

Children’s Music Week from 21 to 28 May

One of the projects is Children’s Music Week.
This year it will be celebrated from May 21 to 28.
This year’s Music Week is dedicated to Gabriel Gabriela Mercera.

This year’s theme is “Traveling around the world”. The songs that will be loaded into the music week are “Music connects” and “Music an international language”. Director of ACE Foundation Segni Bernardina explained that the Music Week will be loaded in two routes. The road to school and the road to the neighborhood. As for the school project, it will be taken over by EKADK, a project for more art in schools. They will go to each school and get different ideas of what they can do during the music week for our children. They will also receive several music videos that will tell and/or explain their career as musicians as well as the instrument they play. In addition, they will receive the official song of the music week that children can learn to sing and dance to. We will work with schools to find artists who will be able to give workshops or presentations in schools.

In the afternoon, ACE Kids Club will conduct a “Tour in all the neighborhoods”, together with various partners such as Dance and More, School of Performing Arts Bonaire and Casa de música. Steelband Silver Bullets SKAL, King Magazine and more.

Each neighborhood will have a different genre of music. For example, in the Red Earth there will be steel breadsticks with rhythms like soca and calypso. In Rincon there will be the part of instruments and cricket music. Later ACE Foundation will release a detailed outline of these activities.

During the press conference, Culture Deputy James Kroon presented a proposal to come up with a decree to anchor the annual celebration of music week. MP Kroon said he thought it was a good plan and would also like to have a book with the correct lyrics of the old songs and how to play them.

Together with Almar Nicolaas, she is working on the renovation of several old children’s songs and will release them during the week for children.
An appeal goes to host schools after school and organizations to during the week of 21st to 28th pay more attention to music for children.
