WILLEMSTAD - Curaçao not only remembered Autonomy Day yesterday, but also the death of the musical hero Ced Ride.
The tribute took place on Brionplein in Otrobanda and was led by Hershel Rosario. An orchestra and sixteen singers have performed their interpretation of the greatest songs of Ced Ride. Singers included Boy Thode, Ephrem J, Dibo Doran and Farley Lourens. Hershel says that it was difficult to make a selection from the more than 200 compositions of Ride.
Ced Ride was a Curaçao singer known for the songs Mi Pais, Doktor and Mi'n Ke Bo Mas. He passed away last year on his birthday, July 14, in the Curaçao Medical Center.
