Kura Hulanda BlueSeas Opening Concert in Kura Hulanda Village
A ticketed opening concert for the Curacao International BlueSeas Festival, staged the Thursday evening before the main free weekend at Kura Hulanda, a restored former slave trading post in Otrobanda now a museum, hotel and cultural village, giving blues music a thematically resonant historic setting ahead of the festival's open-street programme.
A special ticketed concert at Kura Hulanda on the Thursday evening before the main free BlueSeas programme begins gives Curacao International BlueSeas Festival a distinct opening night, staged inside a village whose own history carries genuine weight: Kura Hulanda was built around a former slave trading post in Otrobanda, now restored into a museum, hotel and cultural complex whose museum is considered one of the most thorough anywhere in the world on the history of the transatlantic slave trade.
