Juliana Martina

Singer/composer Juliana Martina was born on the tiny but magical Caribbean island of Curaçao. She was born within a Colombian family and moved to Europe at the age of ten.

This unusual mix of cultures has led her to a unique and fresh sound where all her influences blend. Juliana finished her music studies at the conservatory of Rotterdam, where she specialized in traditional music of Latin-America. Enchanted by Latin-American and Caribbean folklore, Juliana writes her lyrics in Papiamentu, the beautiful language of Curaçao, Bonaire and Aruba, and Spanish (her mother tongue) and combines this with a contemporary jazz sound.
