The Career project continues to support emerging artists in Bonaire. After releasing his Krioyo-style song “Kabe’pabou”, artist Yajro is now launching the official music video. The visual aims to bring the song’s message to life and serves as a contribution to the promotion of the traditional celebration Dia di Rincon.
Yajro, originally from Curacao and studied for 10 years in the states, shares his personal story in the video about experiencing Dia di Rincon for the first time and how he immediately felt a deep connection with the culture and energy of Rincon.
The music video, produced by Engelhart Production, is simple yet powerful, highlighting key scenes and elements of the celebration. Yajro hopes to show that anyone regardless of where they come from—can connect with the soul of Rincon.
Originally an Urban singer, Yajro accepted the challenge—together with his mentor Xemio Jacobs to compose a new song in the Krioyo genre. After an intensive training period, he successfully created “Kabe’pabou”, which has been warmly embraced by the people of Bonaire.
The video is now available on YouTube via the @CAREERBONAIRE channel and has been shared across multiple social media and media platforms.
Yajro expresses his gratitude to the ACE Foundation and Fonds voor Cultuurparticipatie, who gave him the opportunity to experience all aspects of being a full-fledged artist.
When asked what else we can expect, Yajro revealed that his second song and music video, this time in a romantic Urban style are almost ready for release.
