Traditional drumming by the young men in Gunsi, a village, inhabited by Saamaka (Saramacca) people, one of the Maroon groups in the interior of Suriname. They are descendants of slaves who escaped into the jungle and resumed a traditional African way of life of their ancestors. Formerly called “bushnegroes”, the Maroons maintain a strong African tradition. This was recorded at night in a virtually dark house, hence the poor picture quality.
