“I will definitely be paying attention to Keti Koti this coming weekend. In my own village, Bunschoten-Spakenburg, I have arranged for the carillon to play Surinamese songs on Saturday, but there will also be a tasting of Surinamese delicacies, live music and an exhibition of a book about Surinamese Maroon stories. Because we must also try to get the positive out of it. The good thing about the colonial past is that it brought a world cuisine. All cultures together, also in my village!
