    On August 27, 2025, this year’s North Sea Jazz Festival<\/b> will open with a free concert by QUIQUE (Enrique Ebbink) at Kura Hulanda Village. Don’t miss this opportunity to enjoy the truly fantastic atmosphere of Kura Hulanda Village\u2014right in the heart of Otrobanda. Around the stage (located in the square in the center of the village), there will be plenty of food, drinks, culture, and souvenirs in the colorful and inviting houses of the village. Be sure to stop by Lionfish Caribbean<\/a> and visit Bagira’s gallery!<\/p>\n

    In recent years, the Jazz Festival has become arguably the most important music event in the Caribbean. World stars such as Sting, Alicia Keys, Prince, Stevie Wonder, Rod Stewart, Carlos Santana, Chaka Khan and others have already performed here. This year’s lineup includes:<\/p>\n

      Kura Hulanda is upside down<\/h3>\n

      The small \u201cCaribbean village,\u201d which used to be the most famous and spacious hotel (\u201cKura Hulanda\u201d) on Curacao, has been a tourist magnet since its extensive renovation, but above all, it is THE party and cultural mile for young and old, locals and tourists alike. Really great events take place here time and time again. We spent a wonderful evening here last year at a fashion show with a catwalk, live music, and delicious food and drinks. We took the opportunity to meet some of the island’s celebrities and make new contacts. Events at Kura Hulanda are not just \u201ctourist events\u201d; here you will find the \u201cwho’s who\u201d of Curacao!<\/p>\n

      A free concert => don’t miss it!<\/h3>\n

      If you’re in Cura\u00e7ao at the end of August 2025, don’t miss this opportunity. The opening concert of the multi-day jazz festival is free. Just go with the flow, browse the shops, talk to the friendly locals (Cura\u00e7aoans or Cura\u00e7aose => What are the inhabitants of Cura\u00e7ao called?<\/a>) and take home the most valuable souvenir you can get: BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES!<\/p>\n

      Back to the concert: QUIQUE’s real name is Enrique Ebbink. He comes from Amsterdam and immersed himself in Latin American culture as a musician during his studies (his mother is from Colombia). Since then, he has successfully integrated reggaeton, salsa, and cumbia into his music. Millions have clicked on his songs in recent years. His central theme is \u201cEnergia,\u201d which he gives to you and receives from his fans. Forget your worries and let yourself be carried away by wonderful Caribbean sounds.
