Pierre Lauffer Ensemble

Pierre Lauffer (1920-1981) was generally considered to be the greatest 20th century Papiamento poet of Curaçao. Alongside his writing of poetry he also pioneered the stimulation and writing of songs in Papiamento. Pierre Lauffer jr. once promised to put his father's verses to music and make an album of it. Now, almost twentyfive years after his father's death, he is about to fulfill his promise. He will be accompanied by the crème de la crème of Antillean musicians that are working in the Netherlands.
