Thank you for posting this. I was born in Trinidad, I grew up in British Guyana and my grandmother was from Dutch Guiana (aka Suriname). I've always loved this song but I haven't heard it or thought about it in years until a Persian-American guy started singing it at work today in California. Life is funny that way.

Absolutely beautiful! Sounds like kompas! I was born in Chicago to be exact, but I from Barbados and Panama. I big up all those who hail by lineage from Africa, and that includes our bretheren in Surinam. Thank you so much for posting this. Yet another reason to feel proud. And that's real talk. God is so good. Look what He allowed us to do on the back of slavery and white supremacy!! You can't keep a good man (or woman) down!! RESPEK!

this song belongs on every surinamese party.
with good weather lots of family and friends and you will have a true tropical feeling.
and every time it will make people dancing.

This song warms my heart. I love it! Beside the original, my faborite remake is the one by Yakki Famirie, a not so well known Kaseko band from Surinam. Square One and Allison Hinds did a good job too, but made it more soca like. With Yakki Famirie you still get that strong African essence. Yeeeeees!

love it u can meditate to this song.
although I don't understand what is being sung, being Caribbean I feel such an intrinsic almost spiritual experience with this song. A strong pulling back to my caribbean roots.

I like the original Faluma as well as Square One's version. Square one did a good job at a remaking it.
