New Signing – Vernon Chatlein
by January 27, 2023Happy to announce a new collaboration with the multi instrumentalist and researcher Vernon Chatlein.
Vernon Chatlein is a composer and a musician of many colours. Originating from Curaçao, he lived in Cuba for two years, studying music there. He moved to the Netherlands in 2009 to study with the godfather of Curaçaoan jazz, pianist Randal Corsen.
Vernon Chatlein’s new work has evolved from the research project that he embarked upon while staying in Curaçao during the pandemic. His exploration of an old sound archive called Zikinza led him through the history of Afro-Curaçaoan music, and taught him about its contributors and pioneers.
His upcoming album, strongly inspired by his research including samples from the archives will be coming soon.
