You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

==Music==
((Main|Music of Suriname))
Suriname is a [[South America]]n country, a former colony of the [[Netherlands]]. The country is known for its [[kaseko]] music and [[Baithak Gana]] as well as other [[Indo-Caribbean music]] traditions.

The term ''[[kaseko]]'' is probably derived from the French expression ''casser le corps'' ('break the body'), which was used during slavery to indicate a very swift dance. Kaseko is a fusion of numerous popular and folk styles derived from Africa, Europe and the Americas. It is rhythmically complex, with [[percussion instrument]]s including [[skratji]] (a very large bass drum) and [[snare drum]]s, as well as [[saxophone]], [[trumpet]] and occasionally [[trombone]]. Singing can be both solo and choir. Songs are typically [[call and response (music)|call-and-response]], as are Creole folk styles from the area, such as [[Kawina (music)|kawina]].

Kaseko emerged from the traditional Afro-Surinamese kawina music, which was played since the beginning of 1900 by street musicians in [[Paramaribo]]. It evolved in the 1930s during festivities that used large bands, especially [[brass band]]s, and was called ''Bigi Poku'' (big drum music). In the late 1940s, [[jazz]], [[calypso music|calypso]] and other importations became popular, while [[rock and roll]] soon left its own influence in the form of electrified instruments.((cn|date=August 2023))

The biennial music festival [[SuriPop]] is the country's largest music event.<ref name=":1">((Cite web|date=2020-08-27|title=Terugblik SuriPop: Suriname Populair Song Festival deel 1|url=https://www.dbsuriname.com/2020/08/27/terugblik-suripop-suriname-populair-song-festival-deel-1/|access-date=2021-05-16|website=Dagblad Suriname|language=nl))</ref>

==Cuisine==

[[File:Pom gerecht.JPG|thumb|''Pom'']]
Surinamese cuisine is extensive, since the population of Suriname came from many countries. Surinamese cuisine is a combination of many international cuisines including [[Indian cuisine|Indian]] / [[South Asian cuisine|South Asian]], [[West African cuisine|West African]], [[Creole cuisine|Creole]], [[Indonesian cuisine|Indonesian]] ([[Javanese cuisine|Javanese]]), [[Chinese cuisine|Chinese]], [[Dutch cuisine|Dutch]], [[British cuisine|British]], [[French cuisine|French]], [[Jewish cuisine|Jewish]], [[Portuguese cuisine|Portuguese]], and [[Indigenous cuisine of the Americas|Amerindian]] cuisines. This has ensured that Surinamese cooking has spawned many dishes; the different groups were influenced by each other's dishes and ingredients; this new Surinamese cuisine included [[Wrap roti|roti]], [[nasi goreng]], [[Mie goreng|bami]], [[Pom (dish)|pom]], ((transl|zh|snesi foroe)), ''moksi meti'', and ((transl|zh|losi foroe)). Basic foods include [[rice]], plants such as [[Xanthosoma sagittifolium|tayer]] and [[cassava]], and roti. Usually, there is [[Chicken (food)|chicken]] on the menu in many variations of the Chinese ((transl|zh|snesi foroe)), the Indian ''chicken curry'' and ''pom'', a very popular party dish of Creole origin. Also, [[salted meat]] and [[stockfish]] (''bakkeljauw'') are widely used. [[Yardlong beans]], [[okra]], and [[eggplant]] are examples of [[vegetables]] in the Surinamese kitchen. For a spicy taste, [[Madame Jeanette]] peppers are used.

Besides the casserole ''pom'', roti (often served with a filling of [[chicken curry]], [[potato]] and vegetables) is also often served on festive occasions with many guests. Other well known dishes are ''moksi-alesi'' (mixed boiled rice with [[salted meat]], [[Shrimp (food)|shrimp]] or [[fish]], and any vegetable), [[rice and beans]], [[peanut soup]], battered [[fried plantain]], [[Vada (food)|bara]] and the original Javanese nasi goreng and [[mie goreng]].

Desserts include ''boyo'', a sweet cake made with [[coconut]] and cassava, and ''fiadu'', a cake containing [[raisins]], [[Zante currant|currants]], [[almonds]], and [[succade]]. ''Maizena koek'' are [[cornstarch]] cookies made with [[vanilla]].
