GOWEEKLY 28 2016 HOROSCOPE

ARIES

March, 21 - April, 19 The opportunity to increase your income could spur you to channel more energy and inspiration into career and business matters.

Some vivid, intense dreams might reveal a lot about you and your motivations, which could increase your self-awareness and make everything easier for you.

"You might feel especially intellectually and creatively inspired" VIRGO -

Famous Cancer

Vin Diesel Born: July 18, 1967

CANCER

June, 21 - July, 22 All your relationships could be enhanced by your increased sensitivity to the needs and feelings of others. You may provide a sympathetic ear to melancholy friends, help someone resolve problems, or both.

Whatever it is, rest assured that your efforts won't go unappreciated. You'll probably grow closer to the ones who mean the most to you now, including a significant other.

Wellness The planetary alignment makes you expansive and friendly. Try turning your soft underbelly towards the world instead of that hard shell and you'll be surprised at what happens. There is a tendency to get stuck in "receiving" mode, however, so don't forget your own needs. Use the energy to remind yourself of what you really want and don't be afraid to vocalize it. Take time out to go to the gym, for example, if you are a busy parent. It will help you to better help others.

2

TAURUS

April, 20 - May, 20 The desire for travel might hit you, perhaps to visit a friend who lives far away, and you could set the wheels in motion to make it happen. Social events could take up your evening and you might meet some interesting people. A friend may need a sympathetic ear.

GEMINI

May, 21 - June, 20 You might hear about opportunities to increase your income, either through your current employment, a new job, or perhaps a project of your own. You're likely to channel a great deal of energy and inspiration to this end. Others may want to pitch in and help you.

LEO

LIBRA A close friend or member of your household could be having money problems and want to draw on your good business sense in order to understand the situation and find ways to put it right. As you're likely to be feeling especially sensitive to the needs of others you could be of valuable help to this person.

SCORPIO

October, 23 - November, 22 Heightened intuition and ESP could lead to some interesting conversations with others who are blown away by your insights into their thoughts, feelings, and desires. You could also be feeling more expressive than usual. You might want to channel some of that inspiration into writing, speaking, or some other form of self-expression.

SAGITTARIUS

November, 23 - December, 21 A higher level of intuition and inspiration than is usual for you could enhance your artistic talents. A powerful drive to express the stories, pictures, or music that may be flooding your mind could result in your spending as much of the day as possible in seclusion, jotting down thoughts and ideas.

CAPRICORN

December, 22 - January, 19 Moving ahead is today's key phrase. You should be feeling very optimistic and excited about goals that you've set for yourself.

You're probably confident that you'll reach them and all will go well. This positive attitude spills over into your relationships.

July, 23 - August, 22 Expect to find yourself ministering to the needs of colleagues and family members.

People around you might need to draw upon your insights into human nature in order to understand themselves and others. Your common sense could prove valuable to them.

AQUARIUS

VIRGO

PISCES

August, 23 - September, 22 You might feel especially intellectually and creatively inspired, and you could discuss your ideas with others. The process of communication could open new doors in your mind and result in some fascinating insights concerning whatever you're pursuing at this time.

January, 20 - February, 18 Inspiration is the keyword. You may be feeling highly motivated to move on with what others consider impossible dreams. "Impossible" has never stopped you before, and you aren't likely to let it stop you.

February, 19 - March, 20 An increased understanding of distant cultures as well as curiosity about the people who live there could spur you on to further learning about those places. Friends or groups with which you're affiliated could be involved in some way.

GOWEEKLY 28 2016 COVER STORY

When the smash hit 'Amor en la luna' was first released 6 years ago, it marked a new era in the career of Ephrem J. For many it was the introduction to his music. But his career actually began long before that. From his early days as Junny Chiki performing with several bands in Curaçao to the now world famous Ephrem J, he has paid his dues and deserves the spotlight.

Go Weekly spoke to him on the eve of his upcoming tour and CD release.

By: Hayson Nicholls | Photography: Frank Otten

Ephrem J

The man and the music

What drives Ephrem J to work hard to get his music out?

“It is definitely not fame. I love music; I love the experience of making music and performing in front of an audience. From an early age, I was on stage with my father, who is also a musician, and I had the feeling that this was what I wanted to do. My

8

dream was to launch an international career. My first solo CD 'Speransa' in 2007 was a huge success, with multiple singles entering the top of the charts in Curaçao. I followed it up with 'Latin Evolution', a CD with Spanish tracks. I believed in this CD and in my potential to conquer the Latin market. My perseverance paid off, even with the naysayers trying to discourage me. My father has always been a great support of mine, his advice is priceless.”

You chose to become a Latin artist, a market where if you are not from Latin America it is very difficult to get in. Why is that?

"I didn’t go with the flow, I chose my own path.”

“I chose Latin music because I felt that the connection with my Latin roots was very strong. I can also speak the language, not just textbook Spanish, but slang too. When 'Amor en la luna' came out, nobody could tell that it was somebody from Curaçao singing it. The entire process of creating the album felt very natural. The Latin community embraces its artists more than any other.”

COVER STORY GOWEEKLY 28 2016

Follow Ephrem J on Facebook for info about tour dates and performances near you. Also check his videos on Youtube.

Besides your father, who else influenced your music career?

“It is very cliché, but I am a big fan of Michael Jackson. I love his choreography. I am also a fan of Stevie Wonder, Brian McKnight and Luther Vandross. You can call me old fashioned, but I adore this type of music. Again it was not popular to be a fan of those guys, but I didn’t go with the flow, I chose my own path.”

How did you feel the first time you went on stage as a solo artist?

“When I was in a band I used to envision myself as a solo artist.

My first official time on stage as a solo artist felt like magic. I cannot describe the sensation.’’

my career flourish. Writing my own songs is also something I am very proud of.”

What is your most memorable performance up until now?

You recently released 'Como Una Oración'. What can we expect from Ephrem J in the near future?

“My performance in Argentina was magical. It’s a country where I had never been before and the audience knew every word to my songs. They even requested songs that were not even popular from my earlier CD’s.’’

What accomplishment are you the proudest of?

“Becoming a solo artist is something I am very proud of because it was the step I needed to take to make

“I am currently working on my new CD which will come out in July, in order for it to be eligible for a Latin Grammy.

I have concerts coming up in Belgium, Argentina, Chile and Mexico to name a few. I am preparing for bigger shows by upgrading my performance. Like I tell everybody, be good at what you do.

Always keep improving and progressing and you will reap the benefits.”

CAMPO ALEGRE CURACAO

Whether you are on vacation or a resident, it is good to know where you are. Some people live in the same place for years, but don’t really know anything about their land. Since Bonaire is small, it’s easy to bike your way through the island.

Here are 3 reasons why you should do just that.

"Let’s beat exhaust gas and let’s go natural. Biking bene�its us all!"

1

Riding a bike is both very good for your health as it is for the environment. A quick ride of just 30 minutes can already make you feel more fit throughout the day. Oh, and big bonus: it doesn’t cost a thing!

2

For a much closer look on everything, riding a bike allows you to see everything more carefully. When driving a car, everything goes by very quickly. Biking is a little slower so you’ll notice more things around you.

3 Biking is a good activity for peace and serenity. Just let

the wind blow through your hair and be free!
