Biography
I was born and raised in the beautiful country of Suriname which is part of South America and used to be a colony off the Netherlands. In Surinam everybody grows up and is familiar with the typical local music (Kaseko, Kawina, Bigi poku) but also with all the music from South America and the Caribbean such as Salsa, Merenque, Cumbia, Soca, Dancehall etc.
When I moved to Holland i fell in love with salsa and salsa dancing and got my first salsa steps (Salsa Casino style also known in those days as Salsa Antilleana ) from respected Mr. Louis Contigo and a few years' later Mr. Cees de Vroomen.
A few years I was asked to teach Salsa (Casino Style) and so I became a Salsa teacher, which I did with pleasure for about 5 years.
Organizing parties for my students after every dance course I became also fond off being a "deejay" and people started asking me to also perform at their own parties.
After my "career"" as a dance teacher I went on with Dj-ing and the rest off the story is what you can see at this site.
Respect the music and respect the people.
Bas.
