By Surinamese standards quite avant-garde music resounded among the tall blocks of apartment buildings. Surinamese jazz musicians had discovered the music of Charlie Parker and Miles Davis. Ten years later, two groups, Surinam Music Ensemble (SME) and Fra Fra Sound, took over the torch from Kid Dynamite. They developed a new music form in which Afro-Surinamese, Caribbean, and Afro-American traditions all flowed together. These were the most important steps towards the creation of Paramaribop.","PeriodicalId":289452,"journal":{"name":"Surinamese Music in the Netherlands and Suriname","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130717928","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

European classical music in Suriname was mainly influenced by German composers, and predominately Johannes Sebastian Bach. The most plausible explanation for this can be found in the largest European religious denomination in Suriname the Protestant church founded by Moravian missionaries. \u0000\u0000Another influence stems from English church music that dates to the time of English rule. English hymns that together with German chorales that were played by the bazuinkoor (choir of trumpets) small ensembles of brass instruments, ended up becoming vehicles for the composer’s repertoire. The earliest songs were almost purely European, but gradually evolved to incorporate popular local rhythmic patterns to become part of compositions.","PeriodicalId":289452,"journal":{"name":"Surinamese Music in the Netherlands and Suriname","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133282087","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These people from the African Gold Coast (now Ghana), the Slave Coast (Togo, Benin, and Nigeria), Ivory Coast, Guinea, and Congo all had cultures based on oral traditions. \u0000\u0000Of extreme importance is the Winti religion, on which nearly all Afro-Surinamese music is based. Nonetheless, the Afro-Surinamese culture that grew from this was anything but uniform. To be sure, the slaves were spread across the plantations, without regard to their country of origin, but they in turn were extremely isolated from one another. In this way, for instance, each plantation had its own Winti songs, which were later named after the plantation where they were created. And soon thereafter small groups of runaway slaves were formed, who all created their own music.","PeriodicalId":289452,"journal":{"name":"Surinamese Music in the Netherlands and Suriname","volume":"111 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124791341","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Of the original inhabitants there are now only 20,000 left living in Suriname divided among the members of the Trio, Wayana, Akurio, Kalina, and Arawak (Lokono) tribes. The first four groups are regarded as Carib Indians who inhabited northern South America. The 15,000 Kalina make up three quarters of Amerindian people living in Suriname, who live predominately along the coastal area. The Trio and Wayana live in the southern Sipaliwini district, along the border with Brazil and French Guiana.
