FRA FRA SOUND 1983 "Bijlmerexpress" in Kwakoe Amsterdam Zuidoost

Unique and rare images of Fra Fra Sound in early stage back in the 80`s, with the original founders still part of the group. The scene takes place in 1983 in Kwakoe Amsterdam, where they use to practice and perform regulary. Line-up: Marius Tjon-drums, Ponda O`Bryan-percussion, Reynold Felter-percussion, Glenn Gaddum-piano, Arthuro Castillion-guitar, Orlando Dest-alto sax, vocals, Armando Cairo-tenor sax, Joe Heberer-trumpet, Vincent Henar-bass. Here it is where Fra Fra Sound is coming from: music deeply rooted in African Surinam cultural traditions.

I appreciate seeing this video! Joe (trumpet) was my brother. We were in Ghana together before he went to Amsterdam. He went on the US, joined the Navy Band, got a Masters of Music in Composition, worked in Anapolis, then the NATO Band in Naples. Married and had two young children before brain cancer took him away from us. A truly talented musician & composer. I play trombone and went on to play & teach in Asia.
