No sidon na bakra sturu fu seri yu nengre oso bangi (Do not renounce your roots).

This was the theme of the cultural show (Kotoshow) held in New York on April 10. The show featured a colorful display of Afro-Surinamese folklore. The history of the traditional dresses (*Koto) and headwear (angisa) was highlighted as well as the traditional Afro-Surinamese music (*Kawina).  In an entertaining , yet educational way, typical scenes of the way of life of Surinamese women (during and after slavery) were presented. The event was  an initiative of Wi Sani, Suriname American Federation, Inc, and Jerome Best. The President of  the cultural organization Naks in Suriname, Elfriede Baarn, contributed a lot of her expertise, and basically was responsible for the presentation. Her daughter Jennifer, excelled as a copresentator.  MC Henry Elcock  proved to be an artist of the spoken word.   (Music by Kawinaband Body & Soul)    Click for a Realaudio presentation of the show (part1).  part2

 *Koto- A way of clothing designed and imposed by jealous white women, to cover the curvaceous bodies of the Surinamese slave women.                                                                       * Kawina -Typical style of playing drums. Traditional drums, especially the apintie drum, were prohibited because they were used as communication between Maroons and slaves.

Radio Fawaka! is een initiatief van enkele in New York wonende Surinamers. Zij zijn zich ervan bewust slechts met weinig landgenoten hier in dit koude land aanwezig te zijn. Warmte moeten zijzelf creëren. De initiatiefnemers van Radio Fawaka! zullen zich inspannen om een echt forum voor Surinamers, niet alleen in New York maar overal ter wereld te worden.
