I was just talking with a Surinamer musician the other day, and asked several questions about the musical history of the 50s and 60s here. This is how I learned about Kaseko music, and was surprised to find calypso never took root here. Suriname has always been doing it's own thing I guess.

Calypso has the same concept of being a fusion of different influences, and it originated around the same time. So probably while T&T was busy figuring that out Suriname was simultaneously figuring out Kaseko. Calypso did catch on here as a Caribbean music genre to dance to, but not as much that artistes were actively creating in the genre. Don't quote me on that though. It's based on random information from the internet.

We are a special kind of stubborn, so it wouldn't surprise me. 😅
