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. D
e 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.
