Central Artist: Jeon Arvani

Jeon Arvani is an Aruba-born artist, producer and composer who is well known in the Caribbean music community. He got his start in music at the age of 14 years old when he was introduced to the bagpipe and joined a bagpipe group. Arvani played a number of instruments while growing up, including the trumpet and the piano. By the end of 2018, his music reached an all time high with over 100 million listeners. Currently 31 years old, Jeon's songs will live on forever. 

ins a feel-good vibe, including this song.  The visuals on the music video are truly amazing, while simultaneously creating a story. The song is such a hit because of the catchiness and the relatability, which is strangle because Guards. Though it may be difficult for other Caribbean countries, English, French and Spanish alike; it is somewhat easy to understand the gist of the song.



Another interesting song by Jeon is titled 'Dushi Bida' which means 'sweet my life'. Thus, this is how I gained access to another good song. The song, along with the music video draws the attention of the listener even though the understanding may not necessarily be present. The work details of how good his life is, more of an appreciative type of steel.


Ritimo Real is another song that uses a simple music video to highlight the theme of the song. For example, the intimacy with one girl gives off the vibe that the video wishes to present, A MAN THAT IS IN LOVE. All of the artists perform in a subtle tone, which doesn't fully depict their level of romance, but the music and visuals and passion exhibited leads us to believe that the song is an intimate song.

"No Bai" is a love song performed by Sonnos that contains a similar sound to the previous songs, especially 'Desde Cu Ma Boi'. In this song he is basically seeking to win the heart of a new girl. The inexpensive frames within the video have a nice authentic and live feel too coming in.

Jeon also displays his unique talent in the song "Hendi'i Mondi" which seems like it is about everyday life and what goes on in their neck of the woods. Jeon has a very special way of drawing the listeners while providing a much more subtle feel.

A fun fact about Aruba is that though not considered a spanish-speaking country most residents speak a minimum of four languages, spanish being one. That is why I chose him. 'Saus den bo love' by Ataniro is an absolute hit because of its catchy flow and attention-grabbing intro. What caught my eye is the fact that the song is written in both Spanish and Dutch.
