Category:Músika Category:Aruba Since the 1960s, carnival has danced to the beat of the Aruban brassband music known as “Asambeho.” Traditional brassband music has been played on Aruba since the formation of the first Aruban brassband at the Pan-Am Club of San Nicolas in 1930. On March 7 th of that year, the Aruba Refinery Brassband was established with between 20 and 25 musicians. Ixxvi This music was not particularly suited for dancing in carnival, so two San Nicolas musicians -- Arnold Beyde and his colleague Samuel Hodge -- began to experiment with different rhythms. They wanted to develop a sound for the brassband that would provide a fitting musical accompaniment for jump-ups and parades. Blending the music of the samba, calypso, and the marching band, they created a brassband music with a sound, rhythm and beat suitable for dancing. The melody of the Asambeho is carried by wind instruments -- the trumpet, trombone, and saxophone, while the beat is carried by a bass drum, a light drum, and a snare drum. The infectious music made its debut in 1967 when the band accompanied the Goldfinger Fan Club carnival group. The name for this novel music, however, was not chosen until several years later through a 1985 contest. Asambeho derives from a combination of the authors names -- Arnold SAMuel BEyde HOdge. The fact that the Asambeho has been embraced by all Arubans has made the music a new symbol of national identity. A recent comment by the Minister for Health, Sport and Culture, Dr. Lili Beke, states that: One of the treasures [of our Island] is the rhythm born here, Asambeho, which will finally receive its place. Information on the Asambeho has been compiled and will be distributed to all official channels. It will become another identity of Aruba, just like our language, Papiamento [Lili Beke].

Chapi: The head of a garden hoe commonly used as a percussion instrument. Held in one hand with the thumb through the handle cavity, it is struck with a single iron rod rhythmically. This instrument is used in Aruban Asambeho music, and in tambu music, a drum and song festival that is part of the New Year celebrations in the ABC Islands.

nl.wiki Caribische brassband; Een Caribische brassband is een drumband die mogelijk kan worden aangevuld met blaasinstrumenten en/of exotische danseressen.

Deze muziek is ontstaan in San Nicolas, Aruba en klinkt heel anders dan de traditionele Europese brassbandmuziek. Alhoewel het Engelse woord brass verwijst naar koperblazers, zijn bij deze orkestvorm vooral de drums erg belangrijk.

De ritmes zijn meestal energiek. De muziek die wordt gespeeld door dit type brassband wordt asambeho genoemd, een afkorting van de namen Arnold Beyde en Samuel Hodge. In de jaren zestig van de 20ste eeuw ontwikkelden zij voor de brassband een muziekstijl, die passend was voor deelname aan de parades en jump-ups tijdens het carnavalseizoen.[1] Populaire brassbands uit die tijd waren de YMCA-brassband (onder leiding van Arnold Beyde), Academy brassband, Rufo Odor brassband en All Stars brassband.

De stijl is een mengeling van verschillende Caribische muziekstijlen, aanvankelijk samba, calypso met marsritmes. Later werden merengue, soca, tambu en tumba gebruikt en ook beats uit bekende bubbling-, R&B-, hiphop- en popnummers.

arubawiki.com; The brassbands on Aruba play a type of rhythm that is called Aruban Asambeho, named after the developers Arnold Beyde and Samuel Hodge (Aronold Samuel Beyde Hodge). They combined the music of the samba, the calypso and marching bands to produce brassband music with a sound, rhythm and beat suitable for dancing, especially made as a musical accompaniment for the Aruban Carnival Parades.

The rhythm of the brassbands is created by heavy drums combined with lighter drums and snare, and the tune is created by wind instruments, for example trumpets, trombones, and saxophone. The sound of the brassbands is phenomenal and the music is nowadays seen as a new symbol of national identity. Unfortunately, the brassbands today have lost some of their popularity, but the brassbands that still exist offer a great show.

Alias	Shon Benchi

Benjamin Wefer, miho konosi komo Shon Benchi, (☆ ± 1932) ta un eks-komediante di e duo "Benchi i Frankie" i a Curaçaoan cultural figure widely regarded as one of the most influential pioneers of **Carnival** on the island. Better known locally as **“Shon Benchi”**, he played a central role in transforming Carnival from scattered social club festivities into the **street-parade tradition** celebrated across Curaçao today. He is revered as a living legend and contributor to Curaçao’s cultural heritage. ([curacaochronicle.com][1])

Early Life and Background

Benjamin Wefer, known by his nickname *Shon Benchi*, was born and raised in Curaçao. Details about his early years are sparse, but he became active in community events and performances during the mid-20th century, with a reputation as a comedian and organizer long before his involvement with Carnival. ([curacaochronicle.com][1])

Role in Curaçao Carnival

In the early **1960s**, Carnival on Curaçao was very different from the large street celebration known today. Before that time, festivities largely took place indoors within social clubs, such as the Sürnamese, Portuguese and Chinese clubs, and involved masked balls rather than public parades. ([naam.cw][2])

According to oral history and cultural accounts, in **1961** Shon Benchi was one of the key figures who **revived and reimagined Carnival as a public celebration** open to all residents of the island. Together with others such as Elias Bronswinkel, he helped establish renewed interest in street-based Carnival events during a period when public participation had declined following experiences in the 1950s. ([Curaçao Karnaval][3])

Shon Benchi worked to secure permits and encourage participation across different community groups. He advocated for a parade that anyone could join, rather than private events restricted to members of social clubs. When one permit was initially rejected, he decided to proceed anyway — an act that led to his arrest but ultimately helped establish the format of the first major Carnival promenade. ([curacaochronicle.com][1])

Carnival under his influence began to incorporate elements such as themed costume groups, music, and later the feature known as **tumba** and organized parades through major neighborhoods. The parade route and Carnival structure continued to evolve, but many inhabitants credit Shon Benchi’s early initiatives with laying the groundwork for the festival’s modern form. ([Curaçao Karnaval][3])

• De de jaren 1960 trad het komiekenduo Benchi & Frenki regelmatig op met de goochelaar Heroudini.
• 1961: Na aña 1961 Benjamin “Shon Benchi” Wefer a trese Karnaval den kayanan di Kòrsou.
• 1965: Carnavalscomite 1965 ta skoge Benjamin Wefer komo Prins Carnaval cu e titulo Baron Miliionario Alegria.
• 1968: miembro di directiva di Carnavalscomite 1968

Legacy and Recognition

Shon Benchi is widely remembered as the **“godfather of Curaçao Carnival”** — a title reflecting his status as an inspiring figure in the festival’s history. Locals describe him as passionate, visionary and determined to transform Carnival into a people’s celebration that truly represented the island’s diversity and spirit. ([curacaochronicle.com][1])

His contribution continues to be recognized within the community. In **Carnival 2026**, for example, the symbolic Carnival figure *Rei Momo* was dedicated to him, and traditional rituals such as the burning of the Momo effigy were altered out of respect for his ongoing influence. ([Caribisch Netwerk | Caribisch Netwerk][4])

Other Contributions

Beyond Carnival, Shon Benchi was instrumental in the **founding of the Wabi Club**, Curaçao’s oldest antique car club, in **1961**. The club became known for its vintage vehicles and public appearances during celebrations, further embedding his role in island cultural life beyond Carnival. ([tcobcur.com][5]) On oktober 31, 1965 he was cofounder, with H. Celestina, and the first president of the club.

Cultural Impact== For many Curaçaoans, Shon Benchi is not only synonymous with Carnival but also with the island’s broader cultural identity. Researchers and commentators note that Carnival fulfilled a role in **bridging social divisions** on Curaçao — bringing together people of different backgrounds in shared celebration, a phenomenon he helped promote from the early years of public Carnival history.

Facebook: Mr. Benjamin Wever, better known as 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗻 𝗕è𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗶. You may know him as a comedian, the founder of Wabi Club Curacao, initiator and founder of Curacao Carnival and much more. 😎 Shon Bènchi is a man that is always happy, laughing and enjoying life. He always wants happiness for the people of Curacao. At a young age he studied at Hendrikschool that was located in Punda. 61 years ago Shon Bènchi decided to come to 𝗱𝘂𝘀𝗵𝗶 𝗣𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮 because everybody was coming to do business in Downtown. This is when he came with his local restaurant '𝗖𝘂𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮 𝗔𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗲' in Dempel Punda, the only and first at that time and known for the Curacao Soup. Across his restaurant you can find the round market which used to be a large pool of water where the Waaigat ran all the way through. He moored his boat 'Rock & Roll' right in front of the business and he lived in the alley behind the restaurant in Prinsenstraat where he had a fruit shop at home. Back in the days 'Cuchara Alegre' was always full of customers, he even had more than 10 employees that worked shifts weekly to attend to all customers. He used to sell food and drinks but unfortunately the restaurant is no longer what it once was. Nowadays it's a meeting place for various acquaintances, who drop in to have a chat or to buy refreshments. He used to travel a lot, and saw that many places around the world had Carnival, such as Trinidad & Tobago, Brazil, Aruba, etc. He thought it was a great idea to also bring this to Curacao. His biggest dream was to make the Carnival walk from Roodeweg (Otrobanda) to the Punda area, after quite a few setbacks, including his arrest he accomplished this

E genero ta conoci pa su temponan rapido, ritmonan di energia halto, y uso pisa di instrumentonan sintetisa, diseña pa encurasha baile. Mientras cu soca ta mas estrechamente asocia cu temporada di carnaval, e ta ser toca tambe henter aña na radio, den clubnan y na festivalnan. Den contraste, roadmarch no ta un genero como tal, ainda, sino un titulo di competencia dentro di cultura di carnaval y como un parti esencial di carnaval, Jeon a tuma iniciativa pa formalisa registra roadmarch oficialmente como un genero musical pa e sigui biba den carnaval pa futuro generacionnan. El a declara cu e no ta bay sigui debati riba e tema y a dicidi firmemente pa registra e zonido y estilo di musica di carnaval mas brasa na Aruba como “roadmarch.” El a argumenta cu generonan musical semper a evoluciona for di otro, señalando cu soca a desaroya directamente fordi calypso, cu riba su mes a origina for di generonan anterior. For di su perspectiva, e progresion natural aki ta hustifica e creacion di un nomber di genero nobo, y e ta sostene cu niun hende no por strob’e di registra y usa roadmarch como un genero musical nobo, expresando confiansa den su posicion a pesar di puntonan di bista opuesto.

Diadomingo awor despues di Carnaval Grandi Oranjestad, pueblo lo dispidi di e Carnaval 72 cu e kimamento di Rey Momo. Un tradicion cu semper a forma parti di nos cultura di Carnaval, e kimamento di e popchi ta integral den e dispidido di e temporada festivo y ta marca e comienso di temporada di cuaresma. Pero ken ta e personahe di Momito, y kico ta su rol clave den temporada di Carnaval? Ademas, pakico mester kim’e? Aki un les chikito splicando e Kimamento di Momo y Momito na Aruba. E Momo a keda introduci pa prome biaha na Aruba na 1954 door di Henry Bethencourt (alias Heroudini), tres aña despues di su introduccion na Corsou. Segun Heroudini, e storia di rey Momo ta referi back na e tempo Biblico di Jonas y e bayena, durante un tempo unda pica tabata plaga mundo. Dios a laga cla na hende cu e lo destrui e ciudad a menos cu nan arepenti y stop di comete pica. Y pues asina prome cu hende a cuminsa ayuna, a dicidi cu mester tin un sorto di parada pa clausura e era. Den e parada, un rey cu mascara a ser mira ta cana banda di e publico, un figura representando pica humano. Na final di e parada, a kima e rey aki, simbolisando e fin di un era yen di pica. Aki na Aruba, a adapta e storia Biblico aki den e folklore di Rey Momo y Momito durante temporada di Carnaval. Maske e no tin tanto aspecto religioso, e kimamento di e rey si ta representa un fin na e dos luna di celebracion, y e comienso di un ciclo spiritual nobo riba e isla. E kimamento di Momo ta tuma lugar net despues di e Parada Grandi, y net prome cu Cuaresma. Pa despedi di temporada di Carnaval, pueblo ta presencia dos kimamento di rey: Prome, e Momito, cu a tuma lugar diadomingo ultimo despues di parada di mucha San Nicolas. Momito ta representa e clausura di festividadnan di mucha. Momo ta e version adulto di Momito, y su kimamento ta tuma lugare mesun dia despues di e Parada Grandi na Oranjestad.
