BON DIA 📡🧡✨ This time I am presenting older records from Curaçao 🇨🇼 mainly between 70s-80s (a set from my previous radio show in 2021), and I’d like to dedicate this to my mentor, a Curaçaoan who has major influence on my Salsa trajectory. Most of the songs I play in this set are in Papiamentu, an official language spoken in Curaçao, Aruba and a few other Caribbean islands and the rhythms that I selected for this show mainly are the ones that can be considered as falling under the Salsa umbrella. As much as I would like to showcase more rhythms from the island with you or even have musicians to do interviews, I have limited time and not able to share all at once thoroughly but I’d certainly hope to do so in the future:) Thank you for being here!

 Playlist: 00:00 La Perfecta - Canto Co Amor 03:20 The Tunnel Miners - Flor 08:15 Billoneros - Ferfelu 12:36 Indiscudible Super Dynamic - Duna Balor 16:55 Grupo NOS - Mi Pueblo 21:17 Casama - Primintimentu 25:45 Win Y Macai Prudencia Y Su Salsa Antiyana - Carnisá 29:30 Win Y Macai Prudencia Y Su Salsa Antiyana - Ta Asina Ta Bida 35:08 La Gran Orquesta de Curaçao - Hijo Del Sonero 39:16 Babalu Eddy Mar Salsa Y Sabor - Papa Upa 43:31 Babalu Eddy Mar Salsa Y Sabor - Aqui Llego Babalu “Laga nos duna balor, n’esunnan ku ta hasiendo hopi pa nos. Ora nan no tei mas, ya no ta sirbi mas Flor na nan tumba, ya no tin balor” - Indiscutible Super Dynamic

As a Curaçaoan woman I am extremely grateful for this playlist much about culture isn't popular or easy to find so I'm extremely grateful to have stumbled upon your video and honestly would love to get Curaçaoan sound with mentor to teach me more about my culture. I always love Spanish music but hearing the sounds of particular coming from the land of Curacao brings a extra sense of comfort warmth and joy to my heart to hear the sound for my people so thank you thank you thank you so much❤

Gia’s love for Latin music dates back to her childhood. She grew up dancing mambo and cha-cha-cha under the direction of her mother, a dance teacher who taught ballroom-style in Shanghai, Beijing, and Hong Kong. But it wasn’t until high school, when Gia found herself at a breakdancing party, that she heard her first salsa record. “My friends would go to these breakdancing battles in Hong Kong. It was all local kids and nobody spoke Spanish, but the DJ suddenly played ‘Que Se Sepa’ by Roberto Roena. The whole crowd started singing along ‘si si, si do re do si do do,’ and when the beat dropped everyone went crazy. I was like, ‘What is this? I need to know more about this music.’” For over ten years, Gia has been obsessively collecting and cataloging Latin music, taking multiple tours to the United States in search of rare records, many of which don’t exist online. But she’s after more than just a DJ career. “I didn’t start DJing because I wanted to be a DJ. I do it so that I can learn everything I can about the music. I don’t want to just be pressing play. I want to know all the salsa in the world.”

Gotta miss the good old days. A nice calm day at your apartment, a turntable, hundreds of vinyl records, awesome music from all around the world jazz, salsa, classical music. An amazing set by Gia Fu. I've always loved being introduced to new songs.

this is my morning routine i do a lil dancy dance then do teeth care then skin care now im ready for the day ahead thank you sis

As a Curaçaoan, this makes me so happy! I love this so much. Hearing my native language on a video with over 1 million views is insane. That's 10x times more people than we have here on the island. Thank you for this! Danki.

Hi! One question, would you please tell me the meaning of the second song (Flor by the Tunnel Miners), please? I tried looking for the full lyrics but couldn't find anything. That song caught my attention because Flor is my nickname, so I was curious to know what the song said about it. I hope this doesn't bother you. Thank you! Your culture is lovely!

@mynameisray6174

2 ай бұрын

​@@floren3576 the first part of the song goes something like this (freely translated): "Flower, it's already 7 o' clock. And you want to come out and show your value/beauty. Flower, how come now that the sun is out you wanna shine your colours? What does she wanna tell me? What happened today? What did I do to you? I can't understand. If I only knew what you want, I'd go get it done, I'd bring it right away. Flower, it's now noon. It's no time to answer now. Flower, the bright sun wants to give you it's warmth. Finally, I now understand what it is you're trying to say. But something like that would never happen again. (.................) Flower, from now on my appreciation will be only for your love. Flower, I'll won't ever leave you for the evil thorn". So basically, the singer is pleading for forgiveness from his love partner after having been unfaithful to her.

This was spectacular at 7am, with a cup of coffee, picking up my house & opening the damn windows. Thank you.

Aruban here🇦🇼Thank you for highlighting music from the ABC islands. Seeing this on my timeline with so much support warms my heart. Wonderful to see our language and culture(s) being appreciated♥️

Men of culture, this wonderful music has gathered us today. We are truly lucky to be able to witness the beauty of Salsa and Gia around her. Esperanza to all

Im not much of a commenter but ive listening to this took me back to a place where I was the most happy. I had to thank you for that feeling back

no se porque con este sonido de estas mezclas me siento en la playa con una raspadilla viendo pasar la gente y a mi gente, bailando y más.

Hopi dushi salsa di Curacao! Brings me back to my early years! Thanks for this great initiative!

Gracias Gia Fu.🙏🏿

So, so, so happy to listen to a new video from Gia❤

What an awesome set! All bangers! Gracias Gia! 🙏🏽🙏🏽💛💛🙏🏽🙏🏽

this set is 10/10! I could listen to it over and over!. The vibes are just so good..

This brings back so many childhood memories for me growing up in Aruba, the sister island of Curaçao and Bonaire (the ABC islands). My mom use to listen to these songs all the time and teaching me to dance to them, such great times😌 Thanks Gia for presenting our music and language Papiamentu/o to the world🌎 Greetings from Aruba🇦🇼

Great that you’ve showcased music from these islands❤

so happy to listen to a new video from Gia❤

Man when the world ends her collection is going to be ever amazing

Gia with another stellar set! Thank you Gia!!! 👏 😀 🎶 💃

Wonderful selection! What an incredible language is Papiamento mixing Dutch Spanish Portuguese and African languages! Listening to Ferfelu, I can hear some reminds to Oscar D'Leon and his Dimension Latina, producing absolute hits in Venezuela and the whole Caribbean in the 70s.

@mynameisray6174

2 ай бұрын

Actually, when Oscar D'Leon went solo it was with the help and financial support of a local Curacaoan businessman, the late Angel Job. His son, Mocky Job, is still alive and owns a record store on the island called Tik Tak . Oscar D'Leon has performed many times on the island and always makes sure to mention and give thanks to Angel Job for having helped him start his solo career as an artist.

All these songs are so fire! My brain and soul wont allow me to hit pause nor change the video.

Yessssss. Hugs from Puerto Rico❤ 🇵🇷

Magnifique toujours des belles sélections. J'adore . Merci Gia Fu

Wepa!!! Let's gooo. Gracias por todo, Gia!

Wake up babe a new Gia Fu mix just dropped!

I have practically zero exposure to this kind of music, so thankyou! Always enjoy your mixes

just my kind of music....great mix yet again .from Warsaw on a very wet and windy Friday morning

OH MY! I always love Gia's Mixes on The Analog Journey. Found some great new tunes that way. And who can deny the stunning visual additions. :) thanks bae! keep on groovin, mixing and shaking on!

This brought me back to Sunday mornings, waking up to my mom playing similar music and having to help clean the house :D:D:D:D !!!Danki (Thank you)!!!! Love the Selection btw!

AMO LA MUSICA QUE PONE ESTA MUJER BELLA! ♥

Volvió, es una belleza de buen gusto musical!!!

Omg first time here .....Great Music......Tremenda Salsa.....they dont make like this anymore........JUNK out there......great JOB>>>>>

What a suprise... I am from Curacao too.... Masha danki (=Thank you very much) !!

Love your channel! Ended up here on a sunny afternoon and it's a vibe! You jam to the music in a such a natural way. Thanks for sharing the experience! 🎉

Thank you Gia for giving us this wonderful musical experience.

I didn't know I needed this in my life. Thanks for sharing.

Love Gia, as a fellow foreigner and hispanic music lover she helped me learn a lot :3

Que caderazos! Que tumbao! Cómo vivra está morena. Que buen disco! Thanks

Much appreciated. I dig Salsa and always heard it at family gatherings when I was little but never knew the artists.

Excellent work Ms Gia. Bravo...👏👏👍👍

Seleção de músicas absurda!!! Valeu, Gia Fu e equipe do Mild Mambo Club!

Mucho amor Amiga! Gracias!!!!

I absolutely love how this video just jumps right into the music! Thanks for this!

Que linda Musica ! Cuanto Sabor! Saludos desde Brasil! Hermosa Cultura!

Thank you for showing up in recommended. Tropico was the only way I was hearing salsa.

¡¡¡Qué sabor!!! Qué buena música. Un gran saludo desde Colombia.

I just visited Curacao this week and used this video as a starting point to dig vinyl at Tik Tak in Willemstad. Picked up many Doble R, Indestructible Super Dynamic, and other releases while having a good conversation about island music and record pressing they did in Miami. Thanks for this video.

I'll be totally honest, i clicked because of her but stayed because of the tunes❤️ thank you algorithm

Gia loves music like I do. Music is life. Life without Music is not worth living. Thank you Gia.

I thought that in my 60 years, I knew salsa. Today you showed me just how much I really don't know. You're first record " Canto Co Amor" caught me by surprise because I recognize the song, but not like what you played. The Puerto Rican 🇵🇷 version was released in 1978 by "La Sonora Ponceña". Compare and contrast when you get a chance. The first song caught me, but the rest kept me. Thanks for sharing. I ❤ Salsa!!!

@mynameisray6174

I did search for the Sonora Poncena song (Canto al Amor) and you were right! Afro-Cuban music was introduced in Curacao in the 1950's after some of the island's migrant workers returned from Cuba after having worked there on the sugar cane plantations. They brought much of the Cuban musical and dance culture to the island and even today that influence is very visible in Curacaoan culture, although many are no longer aware of the Cuban origin.

Happy to hear tunes from my Island. Greetings from beautiful Curacao!

La salsa nunca falla para traerle brillo al día. Es preciosamente agradable de escuchar.

She is gorgeous and music at its finest ❤

Today I learned that there's salsa from curacao. Thank you @gia fu
