Using music to empower those who struggle in silence
Levi Silvanie announces ‘The School Tour’ for October, performs in Curaçao April 16
WILLEMSTAD — After 10 years Curaçao artist Levi Silvanie returns with a new album and a mission: “use my music and story to empower others who struggle in silence.” This upcoming Sunday April 16th, Silvanie will give a performance at Vittle Grounds in Curaçao. In October this year he will be launching a program for mental health awareness aimed primarily at middle school students in Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao.
One in 4 people experience poor mental health or mental illness. Half of all cases begin by age 14, and suicide due to depression is the 4th leading cause of death among 15-to-29-year-olds. In our community, mental health problems are rarely recognized or spoken about, and more often than not seen as shameful or embarrassing. This can discourage people from talking about their mental health or seeking help.
gs’me:miss
‘gs’me:miss’ is Levi’s first album in ten years. A 13-track fragile body of work where he opens up about life, struggles and growth. The album paints a gripping picture of the evolution of Levi Silvanie from ‘djis mi mes’ to ‘gs’me:miss’; from his rise to fame and battles with mental health to learning to be true to himself. Inspired by these personal battles, Levi started a movement two years ago focused on mental health among teens & adults. Using ‘gs’me:miss’ as a tool, he has developed a successful program to bring music empowerment to schools, companies and homes.
Upcoming performance in Curaçao
After a performance in Aruba this Friday, Levi Silvanie will present his ‘Album Experience at Vittle Grounds’ in Curaçao on Sunday, April 16th starting at 7.30 PM. For tickets please contact +5999 515 4511.
‘The School Tour’ is coming back!
After a successful pilot in April 2022, The School Tour returns to the ABC islands in the new school year 2023-2024. Initially planned for March 2023, due to a large number of applications from schools and students and the logistical consequences thereof, the project has been rescheduled to start in October of 2023. With The School Tour and his upcoming new album, Levi uses the power of music to spark open conversations about mental health and self-care. An immersive experience where he shares his music & story, including open dialogues with local (mental) healthcare professionals. Talking about daily challenges and the many ways you can improve or maintain a healthy state of mind.
Thanks to the support of the Ministry of Education and Sports in Aruba, the University of Aruba/Shoco Wellness, Medwork Aruba, St. Help de Schoolkinderen Curaçao, Blue Bay Curaçao Resort, Impact Development Bonaire, WEB Bonaire, TOP Bonaire, and other parties, The School Tour will be brought to Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao soon. In addition to the sessions for schools, there will also be a session for parents and one for men. Each session of The School Tour also includes a Health Pavilion in collaboration with local professionals. The Health Pavilion features a variety of health and wellness providers where you can find immediate assistance and receive information. When it comes to healthcare, there is enough room for improvement. That is why there will also be an open panel discussion to talk about the current challenges on the ABC islands, and potential solutions.
The School Tour events are all free, but registration is required. All secondary schools in Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao can register for The School Tour until May 1, 2023, via the website levisilvanie.com/schooltour or by sending an email to production@levisilvanie.com. The goal is to reach as many students as possible. To support The School Tour, send an email to management@levisilvanie.com for more information about sponsoring & donations.
