Traditional Suriname music is a unique fusion of African, indigenous, European and Asian
influences. One of the most important musical genres is kaseko, which combines African
rhythms with elements of military marching and European music. Kaseko is characterized by
its catchy rhythms and upbeat lyrics that often deal with issues of everyday life and politics.
Typical instruments used in traditional Suriname music include the skratji, a type of drum
made of wood and goat leather, which is played with the hands and produces a distinctive,
vibrant sound. Another important instrument is the agida, a type of güiro made of gourd that
is scraped with a stick to produce a characteristic sound.
In addition to kaseko, Suriname also has a rich tradition of folk music, such as aleke, a form
of song and dance of indigenous people, and kawina, a style of music and dance of African
origin played on special occasions such as weddings. and festivals.
In short, Suriname&#39;s traditional music is a vibrant expression of its cultural and ethnic
diversity, and plays an important role in the country&#39;s national identity.
