Aanstekelijke
melodieen die je terugvoeren naar een vervlogen periode uit de Surinaamse muziek
geschiedenis. Toch doen ze gloednieuw aan. Een sparkelende fusie van voornamelijk
Jazz en Kaseko zou je het kunnen noemen. Kulembanban, de nieuwste cd van Fra Fra
Sound, liegt er niet om.
Bij het beluisteren van nummers als " Fami de go du", "Brokopondoplan",
"Kondreman" en "Sranan Kondre", werd voor ons (als leek) eigenlijk
duidelijk wie Kid Dynamite was. De
typische Fra Fra behandeling met vocals van Carlo Goedhart resulteerde in iets
dat groter is dan de som der delen. Kulembanban, Mampira en Tingeling zijn , naar
onze smaak, de uitschieters op deze schijf. Elke
Surinamer zou een exemplaar van dit muzikaal juweeltje in huis moeten halen.
A swinging tribute to the father of modern Afro-Surinamese music.
In 2004/2005, FRA FRA SOUND and guest vocalist CARLO GOEDHART will pay tribute
to the legendary tenor saxophone player KID DYNAMITE (1911-1963). This musical
portrait titled 'Kulembanban' will be touring stages and festivals.
Who
was Kid Dynamite?
Quick to laugh, smartly dressed and holding a golden
Conn tenor saxophone to his mouth; dancing Amsterdam thought Kid Dynamite to be
an American jazz musician. But the man who made the Zeedijk swing in the 1940s
and 1950s, was born in Suriname. His name was Lodewijk Rudolf Arthur Parisius,
and he came to The Netherlands as a stowaway in the late 1920s. Lodewijk wanted
to become a baker, but turned out to be one of the most colorful jazz musicians
ever in The Netherlands. Besides his exhilarating part in pre-war jazz, Kid Dynamite
was mainly praised by fellow musicians for his distinct style: a mixture of American
jazz, Surinamese kaseko, Brazilian samba and calypso from Trinidad. "After
him, I've heard some fairly good attempts to play fusion music, but they really
paled compared to Kid's", says trumpeter Ado Broodboom, who performed with
him in Club Casablanca at the Zeedijk in the 1950s.
