Let me tell you about this song. The rhythms and some of the instruments you hear on this track are all from my native country Suriname. No program beats or digital interference in the percussion set up. All instruments lively played by the musicians. The name of the genre is Kawina. Bet you never heard of this before?!. I feel blessed to be the first musician to present this music to you. The style of music has a long but painful history. Slavery!! In this dark period of humanity slaves were not allowed to keep their culture and religion. While slaves in USA start singing on the fields because there were not allowed to play instruments (We know where the blues came from) something else happened in the West Indies. In my country slave managed (in secret) to keep their culture and religion. They kept on playing their native instruments (all African drums) The setup is African based drums and singers. The music and lyrics are based on worship of the elders, marriage or other culture based celebrations. For me this song is the first fusion or collaboration with pop/funk/soul etc. So now I present this to you!!..Enjoymore
