Dutch Portfolio
As we continue on discussing on the theme creolization, I will discuss a little on how it can be found in the Dutch. As found in “Tour de Force: A Musical Journey of the Caribbean” written by Christine Gangelhoff and Cathleen LeGrand creolization can be seen in the form of music. The Dutch Leeward Islands also known as the ABC islands uses instruments that are handmade or repaired. Rufo Weber was an individual who repaired and maintained instruments like such that was used to play music. The Leeward islands used the agan, chapi,and ka’iòrgel to play their music. https://th.bing.com/th/id/R.1cd8938c5aeb467e02bcd7b4ba479304?rik=hBaWxKzHubss2Q&pid=ImgRaw&r=0 The Dutch sure know how to party - YouTube I chose the above video because you can really see how everyone was enjoying the music and moving to the beat. Another example, I will discuss will be on the language spoken by the ABC islands. Papiamentu is the main language spoken on these islands. https://omniglot.com/images/wr
