Fra Fra Sound

Since forming in Amsterdam in the early 1980s, Fra Fra Sound has focused on the exploration of Surinamese kaseko, kawina and winti genres. The group has explored the extensive relationships between the various music styles that have their roots in Africa: Caribbean and Latin American styles, along with jazz, blues, soul, and gospel from the United States. Fra Fra Sound has toured in Europe, Africa, countries around the Indian Ocean, the Caribbean, South America and the U.S. The name Fra Fra has several meanings: it means a hybrid, and also strange, different, mysterious.
