Coming home to Izaline Calister is a warm, all-encompassing experience. She masterfully blends jazz with the traditional sounds and history of Curaçao. This spring, she’s touring the Netherlands with Rum and Coca-Cola, a theater show about the nearly forgotten Caribbean side of World War II, featuring songs she inherited from her father. For Wonderfeel, the Edison Award winner created a program centered on the festival’s theme, “Home.” It’s a perfect fit for her loyal trio, about whom the Antilliaans Dagblad wrote: “With guitarist Ed Verhoeff and Angelo Verploegen on flugelhorn, she achieves a perfect symbiosis in which hierarchy plays no role.”
