Kunukunan no ta manera ntes mas; hopi kambio a tuma lug
atraves di tempu. No tin buriku ku ta karga kosecha hiba mangasina, no tin bas di kanto i rei di mainshi ku ta kompa e wapamentu. E union di bisianan pa yuda ku kosecha no ta manera

Except for reaping what we sow, there are many other ways

We are convinced that you will enjoy it.
Lets celebrate with se.

SONGWRITERS VIEW
Kolowawa, this is how our ancestors greeted each other when
it had been a while they had seen each other.
The Gueni language is practically extinguished, due to:
colonization, theft, oppression and modernization of our identity,
norms, values and our language.
Notwithstanding, there are still some material and investigation
that can shed some light on how it has been in the past, enough
to identify us as afro Curacaoans. The same way an anthropologist studies the social life of the human beings past to create a
connection and understanding for his actual life, we as Curacaoans have to inform ourselves to know our true identity.
We have to know where we came from, to know where we are
heading. I use my songwriting as a medium to transport knowledge from one mind to another.
I put melody on a sea of phrases that you will remember forever.
Transforming text into song is the easiest way to remember
written words.
This is the force and gift I have and I use it to inform and promote
awareness.
I wish for all Curacaoans to transform the words Brotherhood
(Hermandat), Patriotism (Patriotismo) and Love (Amor) in action
H.P.A. is clung to my heart like the corn kernel to its ear and I will
distribute it like zjazjimei (old local dish) of information. Eat it and
enrich your knowledge.
If you want to be a good Curacaoan, you should know your history; the truth will set you free and make us strong and balanced
people.
Sing your pain, rejoice your happiness. Sing every day for the rest
of your life.
If your song does not touch you it will touch your neighbour.

The se song
In the past se songs were based on the call upon the great
master to thank for the land we have to plant on, for the rain
he sent to water the crops and for our harvest. To sing and
relief the pain of the abuse endured on the hand of the farm
owners (shons).
The celebration after harvesting is called se. HPA has conscientiously chosen to maintain playing se music to thankfully celebrate. The core of our message is respect, patriotism
and union this is the red cord in our compositions with the
goal to promote awareness, inform and positively entertain.

use of extra melodic lines. These changes must be minor compared to the rest of the essential parts of the se.
The se has to stay with its character to be able to distinct
clearly the open and the closed parts. This counts for the
section of melody as well as the rhythm section.
Function of the bass and quarto
It is a simple to t the bass and quarto in the se pattern. Quarto
plays the rhythm of the agan and the Bass plays the rhythm of
the cow horn. This is the rhythmical base. In other words, the
bass assumes the function of the cow horn and quarto assumes
the function of the hoe and the agan. Furthermore it is a question of feeling. It may sound supercial but fact is that you have
to feel the rhythm in order to have full integration of all the elements.
You have to be able to dance se (wapa) to the rhythm of each
of these instruments separately; the rhythm of the quarto, the
rhythm of the bass, the sound of the cow horn, the rhythm of
the hoe and the rhythm of drum.
In my concept there is no melodic or rhythmical limit for the
bass and the quarto in the se.
Much can be done with the string instruments taking into account that it does not deviate from the se principles.

My experience with the change
My experience with this change is very positive. The se
reached new dimensions which did not exist in the past. The
change is positive because it did not aect the essence of the
se. Members of HPA have studied the core of se and we stay
humble and auto critical on what we present in the se. We
evaluate ourselves every year to continue to improve our style.
In the beginning the change brought doubt, friction and resistance. Today this change has become part of us. We of HPA
identify ourselves with a modern se with strings, metal, skin
and cow horn.
HPA does not search anymore, now we are playing and exploring other dimensions in the se music. The essence of this dimension is harmony and synchronicity in every sense. The se
has evolved in this transition because: the quarto supports the
drum, the hoe supports the bass, quarto and drum. In other
words all instruments compliment each other in a polyrhythm,
making the se rich in musicality and concordance.
Precaution
To prevent deviation from the se rhythm when introducing
melodic instruments to the se we have to consider the musical
arrangement and the composition. If you compose a se that
has phrases or lls of other rhythms such as tumba or ritmo
kombin, you take the se out of its musical concept.
Furthermore if you arrange a se with too many changes in the
chorus, bridge or with dierent elements derived from the
tumba or ritmo kombin, you have changed the se. The
most important aspect to consider when creating a se is to
simply adhere to rhythmical patterns that t the se.
Deviate only to create musical variations with the goal decorate the se, such as stops, breaks, changes of rhythm and the

msun ritmo. Si tin dos kachu bo no por distingu kachu
ariba ni kachu abou. No por hasi distinshon entre ritmo
habr i ritmo ser di e se. Antes nos por a papia di diferente

se. Antes esaki tabata hopi diversik. Tur hende tabata
toka i manten nan na nan estilo.
b. Introdukshon di bas i kuarta
HPA a introdus bas i kuarta na aa 2005. HPA ta un grupo
kultural di hbennan dinmiko i progresivo. E karakter progresivo i inovativo di HPA a hiba na eksperimentashon ku
kurd den se.
Den e prom fase di introdukshon di bas i kuarta den se
tabatin basta resistensia komo ku no ta tur hende tabata sinti
nan mes kmodo ku e kambio. Hopi a pensa ku bas i kuarta
lo kambia e rtmo di se i kibra e se tradishonal.
Se su melodianan di kanto tradishonal no ta komun i ora
ku introdus bas i kuarta e por bira dikultoso pa kanta den
tono, teniendo kuenta ku e melodia. Mester a buska pa haa
e anashon meldiko korekto.
Un problema grandi tabata ku hopi bahista hben no tabata
toka se i msika kultural. Pues mester a kumins for di sero
i krea patronchi i konsepto nobo. Ku tempu nos a desaroy
i perfekshon e akompaamentu meldiko sigun nos propio
estilo modernis. Na aa 2010 nos a estables un patronchi
bsiko ku te awe nos ta manten i sigui desaroy.
Introdukshon di bas ku kuarta a inspir msikonan pa hasi
