Ever heard of "kaseko" music, Suriname's fusion of calypso and son? You can get a live earful this Thursday (11/19), when a LOCAL KASEKO BAND will play following a film about one of Suriname's biggest musical stars, Lieve Hugo, at the NC Latin American Film Festival.
Vincent Soekra's 90-min. film "Iko: King of Kaseko," will be shown at 7 pm in the City of Durham's Holton Career and Resource Center, 401 N. Driver St. Live music will follow.
Frake Hunsel, a Surinamese native and percussionist with Raleigh's ELM Collective, will lead an all-star kaseko band "Carolina style," featuring Curtis Mayfield-style electric guitar, saxophones, 'bones, flutes, drums, bass, piano and vocalists.
This once-in-a-lifetime event is FREE and OPEN to the public!
Get Kaseko Experienced!
