“Fifty years ago, I moved from the Caribbean Island Trinidad to the Netherlands. Together with my father I’ve played throughout all of Europe as musician; I play the steeldrum. We had fun everywhere we went. About forty years ago love brought me to Zaandam.

Life here is good, and yet I believe that the Netherlands can learn a thing or two from my culture. Because, oh man, people are good at complaining here! Take my tennis buddies for example. I jokingly call them grumpy old men, because they think everything used to be better in the old days. No way! Life now is also great!”

Kenneth is from Trinidad, an island for the art of Venezuela, and has spent his entire life making music.
