Best Answer

Influences from African, Asian, Caribbean and modern western cultures are evidenced in Suriname's music.

Specifically, Asian influences from northern India and the Indonesian island of Java are strong in the northern one-tenth (1/10) of the country. They mingle with modern western musical influences transmitted by Suriname's colonial and post-colonial contacts with the European Kingdom of the Netherlands. They weaken further inland, where indigenous and West African musical influences predominate in pockets.
