Do you guys heard of Boston Bendt? He was a slave in Jamaica who was sold to Suriname. He could read and write. When he came to Suriname he escape the plantation and join the Marroons in the war against the Dutch. He is the one who later in 1760 left letters for the Dutch settelrs. His letters results in the peace treaty of the Marroons and the Dutch government. This day is now a holiday in Suriname. October 10th 1760.
very informative!
You are right the name Bendt is in Suriname
Salute to you brother or sister! Very informative!

i have also heard a story from an old teacher that one of Suriname "baddest warriors" by the name of Boni, went to Jamaica to help the black people fight against the white man. sadly this is never documented so.............
I am Surinamese living in the USA, but I used to live in Jamaica. I lived in JA in the 90s when people always told me that they never heard of Suriname. I am so happy that there are Jamaicans living in SU. 🤎
I am from Suriname and have truly enjoyed listening to this very positive interview. You are all so kind and I am really happy to hear you talk so good about Suriname and our beautiful diverse culture. Sometimes we are pulled down because of our economic problems, but hearing your perspectives reminds me that we have so much positivity to work from. Thank you for that. It is true that we love Jamaican culture which surely came to us through Bob Marley and other Jamaican music. Bob Marley and his ideas are revered by many people in Suriname including me and you may be proud that Jamaica has brought forth such an icon for peace, solidarity and music as a transformative energy. One Love was surely the overarching theme of this interview. Keep up the good work brother and sisters!
It is so true that economic problems let us almost forget our blessings. But God reminded us about them
You're welcome!
Hear, hear
Hear, hear!
I am from Holland, but I come since 25 years in Surinam, and it is the most interesting country with so many cultures......and the different food....so nice
👍
I'm from Surinam, but I never heard of people eating wild cats.
Caiman is not a national dish. The maroons are in the bush, it's normal that they eat from the bush. But the people in town don't eat every thing.
I love to see that my African sisters are love my country!!
I don't think we have akky!
true, and the one show in the film is the domestic house cat. But since the arriving of the new generation chinese, i have understand that they hunt on the bigger one like puma, ocelot and so one. in Suriname we use to call every big cat.... tigri =tyger, but there are a lot of species.....
I saw a nursery selling ackee trees. If we are willing I think that may change. If only I had the space to plant 1,I would.
I heard some Haitian people in Suriname eat cats
That's what I keep trying to make clear to people. People who see this might think we are some savages in the woods who eat anything when in fact our kitchen is so sophisticated and unique, making this inaccurate statements a shame on our nation. Unlike many nations in the world, we are one of the countries where we eat normal thing and have our meats well done instead of pink and bloody.
I enjoyed these ladies account of their life in Suriname. Well done
thank you
Hello beautiful Jamaican Surinamese people. Welcome in Suriname🤗🤗🤗🤗. I like you guys.
But i must correct you respectfully. All black people have roots in Africa. Some of the slaves run away to the forests and that's why they are called marroons. The other group of slaves stayed . They didn't run away. And these people are called creols. But they all are still black people from Africa with different cultures because they came from different parts from Africa.
And that's so beautiful about Suriname. I was born and raised in Suriname. Apart from all the difficuties in the country Suriname is still the place to be. I am a teacher and i serve in West Suriname.
happy to know.
Im from suriname and verry happy to see that you ladies enjoy suriname... Later..
Love Suriname 🇸🇷 🇸🇷🇸🇷❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍
🇸🇷
I'm of Jamaican descent with both parents from Mocho, Clarendon. I was born and raised in England, but emigrated to The Netherlands (Utrecht). In the Netherlands nuff people are from Suriname and some of them are some of the nicest people you could ever meet.
ok ,yes alot Sureiamers are living in Holland.
The majority of Surinamese people live in the Netherlands. Unfortunately, there is a strong divide between those in the Netherlands and those in Suriname.
@@simphistication4215 May be the divide you speak of between Suriname people in the Netherlands and in Suriname itself is a little like the divide between Jamaican born and UK born like me. We still think we are Jamaicans, but I have noticed Jamaicans on the island do not accept us as being real Jamaicans, even though we still speak patois.
@@haatpraat2993 Correct. I have seen a program on what you are talking about. It was a Jamaican woman who lives in Florida and she worked there to save money to build a house in Jamaica. Once she did, her whole family turned against her and the people on the island did not accept her. They robber her house and broke her windows, very sad this hate amongst black people globally.
Good to see you ladys enjoy my country.
We love Jamaicans . . YES , Welcome to Suriname, we are one people🤗😍🥰!!!
Thanks we’re one people of course.
As a youth my interest was alway to travel to suriname because of its diverse population. One would think. That the women are extremely beautiful.
Kudos to Xavier Murphy. I am so impressed with this video. Thank you ladies for choosing Suriname and speaking positively about my country. And I heard Donieve almost speaking Dutch during the interview, so it means that they are managing well with the language 😉
Thanks for the compliment! We are glad you enjoyed this episode in the “Jamaicans to the World” series. If you missed any they are all located here - th-cam.com/video/gjEvqG6tLzs/w-d-xo.html&list=PLt0YTBf5UEoc1-D9XLrtMdespsht1oBLJ
Thanks for watching .
Welcome in Suriname my Jamaican brothers and sisters!!!
I am a surinamese but I live in Bonaire.
Just want to say that I enjoyed this very much. Very positive.
Wishing you a lots of love and success in all you do are going or are going to do.
Im so happy to be here late or not
Big up to both ladies, Renee is my first cousin and donieve is my former schoolmate (Claude McKay high) actually donieve late brother and I was classmates and very good friends. Proud of them representing our country.
👍💯
Thanks cuz!!
I love this. Suriname have similar traditional connections to Jamaica. More than we think. Especially the maroons.
oh yes,i think we are connected in so many ways.
They speak the same language called Kumanti AKA Kromanti in Jamaica. Like I said before, when the Dutch and the British were fighting for ownership of Suriname, The British took enslaved Africans with them and started over again in Jamaica so yes, technically we are the same people.
@@simphistication4215 oh wow didn’t know this info! Thanks for telling.
@@simphistication4215 true, i remember seeing a documentary a few years ago about kromanti maroons from Suriname and maroons from Jamaica speaking almost the same language. Even in Ghana they have similar language.
@@simphistication4215 What they call Kumanti or Kromanti in Jamaica is definitely not the Kromanti we know in Suriname. I saw the documentary about some elderly Jamaican men speaking their so called Kromanti and it was the regular creole we speak in Suriname. People need to know and be aware that in Suriname Kromanti is a sacred language, that is spoken when the people get into their "winti" their trance. It is than that the connection is made with the African spirits and Kromanti is spoken. Don't get the impression that you will walk into a marroon village and find the people speaking Kromanti as a regular daily language.
Donieve I must tell you you’re not the eater is Renee very interesting interview nice to see Jamaicans enjoying other cultures. This is a great one Xavier
I definitely am. I love trying the different dishes.,
@@ReneeEnglish1 Can i get an invite for when you make Jerk meat
I just got here by accident. Looks like TH-cam knew I was going to click on this link lol. Sranang Tongo = Taki Taki. Javaans eten is lekker top; I agree with Donieve. I see you have the Javanese Nasi Goreng/Javanese fried rice there with Sateh. There are other good foods there also but 2 many to mention. The Peanut/Pinda sauce is usually put on the Sateh . Dawet is typical javanese coconut drink combined with gelatin like pieces. I Didnt Know they eat Cat/Poes there??? I know Iguana's/Tree Chicken is on the menu also. Kaaiman/Caiman is the water chicken lol. Konie Konie is rabit. Pingo is the bush/wild pig. Papaya mango is the best tasting Mango (I agree again with Donieve). Christmas/Newyear/Owru Yari is the Best time to be there. Greets/De groeten From the Sunshine State :) Later/Tot ziens/Tang Bung.
😂🙏
Na fostron mi yere tak Sranan mang e njang tigri Katie, ma ano tru, kande wan groepoe sma nomo... ma mi no e brib tak ding njam in
@@Keevon89 it's the first time I also hear that the people in Surinam are eating tiger .
SRANAN TONGO = NOT (TAKI TAKI) TAKI TAKI means TALK TALK Litterally and it makes no sense...SRANAN TONGO IS allready the right word for SURINAMESE and NOT TAKI TAKI....alot of DOMINICAN in surinam say they speak a bit of TAKI TAKI and we should CORRECT them instead of going along with that nonsense....this misstake started when foreigners living in surinam where asked if they speak Surinamese wich in Surinamese is( YU SABI TAKI SRANAN TONGO ?) but instead of SRANAN TONGO they took the word TAKI out of that sentence and used that as SARANAN TONGO and Surinamese do not correct them and even use the word TAKI TAKI themselves too when it should be simply SRANAN TONGO..Lets correct them and ourselves too...
@@eugenieengeldal7807 me too, but is not True maybe a small group of people who actually eat it but not all of the country Surinam 🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷
Thanks for sharing i really enjoyed it am from 🇸🇷 to but now living in the USA 🇺🇸 feels so good see some Surinamese stuff.mi lobi joe sranan🥰
glad you enjoyed the interview
So so proud to be Surinamees!! Yes we love our food. Adjosi
= Goodby
had gedacht dat zeker: fawaka = hoe gaat het, how are you gevraagd zou worden
Yes, the best food of the Caraïben and even of Z-Amerika...not to be disrespectful to other countries...but it's a fact...
@@eveblyn Yes within Suriname one can travel the whole food world!
@@sistercirkel9125 Er zijn tal van landen die ook multi cultureel zijn....tal van voorbeelden...maar sranang na exclusief toch...na sranang style, mi é taigi!! Swiet kevalek...

Xavier, in a case like this, where there are so many things to share about languages, cultures, Nature, et cetera, I would recommend that you continue the conversations, keep recording, and then share them as Part 1 and Part 2, et cetera.
The cabage and string beans with peanot saus is called pitjel🥗🥗
Thank you for the reminder.
I really liked the interview . Just like they enjoy Suriname, I enjoy Jamaica!
Big uself!
@@donieveboyd9149 Jamaicans usually only know about Suriname once they have met us, so through this interview more will know about Suriname and how wonderfull we are! Smile

I’m excited for this one 💕
Very interesting interview with Donieve and Renee. I loved the way they express themselves and the history of the people and cultures.
This is crazy! We don't eat. Kaaiman or monkey or whateva!
U people. Were living. Deep inside the jungle in a village.
Cuz mainstream surinamese Don t. Eat what u describe
I am born and raised in SURINAM. But Kaaiman. Is caught to sell the skin for shoe. I mean for leather.
But of course people in the jungle eat diverse meat. NOT MAINSTREAM!
I'm from the capital Paramaribo, and i eat caiman, monkeys, wild cat iguana and everything. me and my friends used to catch them and with curry errthing great👍
@@tarotoeka1510 That you, your friends and family eat these unusual meats doesn't make it count for the general population. It seams that your innercircle is kond of savage to eat wild cats for sure. In general we Surinamese don't eat caiman and the animal meat mentioned here. We surely don't eat opossum and we seem to be the only country not eating this disgusting animal, but we don't judge the countries and islands surrounding us where it seems to be a delicacy.
Another great interview
Great job ladies. I can see both of you have adjusted well to the culture in Suriname. Sranan is very easy to learn, especially if you are an English speaker. I lived there and enjoyed every moment 💯
Thank you George
I am deeply sorry to say this but I first read your username as George's meth lab instead of math lab. 🤣🤣
@@apeman9238 Okay bro. Math to the world✌
@@donieveboyd9149 ✌
@@donieveboyd9149 Somewhere one of the ladies is calling Sranan Tongo "taki taki". What anybody needs to know is that calling our language "taki taki"is insulting, derogatory. Taki taki means just saying ignorant nonsense and not not serious gossip. When we say it's just tak'taki it means just unserious crap, gossip!
Greetings from Paramaribo Suriname 🇸🇷.
tek u big up!
Renee, I'm a customer of your products. I love the syuru facial bar. Thanks to both of you for enriching our diverse culture
Iguana is one of the sweetest meats I've ever eaten. And, they only eat leaves! Curry Iguana and Iguana soup is so delicious! Loved this interview... Very informative and entertaining!
I learned so much about Surinam from these two ladies. Thanks ladies for sharing and thank you Once again Xavier for another world tour.

Very Interesting interview
great interview very informative 👍

I've been to Suriname. Wonderful place. My wife is currently there. I ran into one Jamaican while I was there. I loved that art scene. I loved the racial, religious and language mix. Definitely going back. Good to know other Jamaicans there.
Portland is my favourite parish. Though i was born in ST Thomas & grew up in ST Catherine (Portmore). So i most definately would like Suriname.
the ladies are right about the music. reggae music is very popular in Suriname since the day's of Bob Marley. Interesting fact is that Bob would've come to Suriname on independence day...... but on the same day a popular local musician died abroad in Holland. So we mist the chance to see the king of reggae in our country......... but his messages lives on. but after that we have had a lot of popular Jamaicans visit our country...... Duane Stephenson came 3 times already, Buy Banton and many more.....
As a Dutch person (mixed Dutch- Curacao) who grew up with Surinam culture, I love that Suriname is presented to a larger public :) It's also interesting to me how much different descendants of African culture (Jamacain, Surinamese, etc) look different at what habits perceived as weird and normal
Yeah the peanut sauce sound wicked. Wow, who knew that we could step into our African culture in Suriname.
am telling you, the experience is worth it.
Everything is better with peanut sauce, blessed are the Indonesians for introducing that. It's very populair in the Netherlands also.
Actually its PEANUT HOTSAUS that we call PINDA SAMBAL and has a very different delicious taste than the other peanut saus that looks and tastes just like melted peanut butter
I love the interview. Its nice. Thank you. I moved from the Netherlands to Suriname when I was 25. But I sm from Suriname descent so it a lil different for me.
Adyáko Benti Basiton, also known as Boston Bendt, was a slave who was deported from Jamaica to Suriname. In Suriname he withdrew from slavery and settled in the residential area of the Maroons, from where he led the great slave revolt on the Tempa Creek in 1757 together with other Maroons. He had learned to read and write in Jamaica. This made him an exception among the slaves and Maroons in Suriname. He wrote pamphlets that the Ndyuka left behind when they attacked plantations, informing the planters and the colonial government that they would only cease their struggle for freedom if they were recognized as a free nation. Later, Boston Bendt was instrumental in the establishment of the peace treaties between the colonial government and the Ndyuka and Saramacca in 1760 and 1762, respectively. He commented on six of the articles of the draft treaty of 1760 and expanded the treaty from seven to nine articles.

In school we were always thaught that Boston Bend was sold from the
us to Suriname as some kind of punishment. And in Surname he joined the Marroons ans during raids he was leaving letters behind for the plantation owners.
Blessup and big up Jamaica.
Suriname love u
As a native Surinamese, I can't feel nothing but proudness that fellow Caribbean Citizens are adjusted and enjoying life in my Fatherland.
I have nothing but respect for you women💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
I love food, so in that regard, please share the facebook page you've mentioned, so that I can taste your side of the world😄😄
thank you.
Another great interview Xavier, the ladies has embrace the country and it's culture very well. Renee is my girl, when in Rome do like the Roman do....would love to visit. The ladies are very knowledgeable in regards to the history.
big up uself Doreen Morgan
Maroons are the runaway slaves of the plantations, who have settled in the deep interior and the Creoles or city Creoles who have settled in the various places in the city after the abolition of slavery.
That wild cat story is kinda sketchy because the only people here that may be eating cat is the Chinese people. If it's coconut water my sister want there's allot of it. There is allot they didn't talked about that the country has to offer. I'm glad that they enjoy Suriname, PS reggae music is the BEST! Much Love & Respect.😁😎
My landlord in st maarten is a very nice lady she is from Suriname she cook with a lot of pepper
Real Surinameese dem love dem pepper's 🌶
They make me want to move there :)

Love from Suriname 🇸🇷
I am looking forward to perform the Jamaican anthem❤️❤️
I am a proud aucaanse lady😍🇸🇷
Very interesting interview
But this is very important to know.
The creole are a Surinamese population group that descends from former African slaves .
The descendants of runaway slaves, the maroons, are also called
Bosland Creoles.
In combination they are also called
Afro-Surinamese. MANY CREOLES ARE OF MIXED
AFRICAN - EUROPEAN DESCENT.
Yes , and some of the creoles are mixed with European because they didn't runaway , they stayed in the city
But the maroon ( runaway slaves) and the creoles all came together as slaves in Suriname
@@sabrinaakodjo9069
Did you read my comment:
" The creole are a Surinamese population group that descends from former African Slaves."
@@goretti-canterburg-rainfor9813 yes I did and your absolutely right just want to make it clear
@@sabrinaakodjo9069 People mixed with Europeans not just beause they stayed in the city. In those days, on the plantations there were many mixed people, more than in the capital. The plantation owners were so cruel that they kept their own children as slaves. It is well known that Boni was the son of a European father and an African mother. So the narrative that mixed people only existed in the city should be adjusted because it is simply inaccurate.
A Jamaican restaurant with jerk chicken would be nice to have in Suriname
I am from Oliver Gardens, May Pen, Clarendon. I will be moving to Paramaribo in August to teach!
That's cool, I came across this while browsing. As a Surinamese I think this is fantastic. Never knew there were Jamaicans living in my native country. Soso Lobi
There also Africans living overthere dear.
Education is 100% in Dutch. Children aren't given sentences to translate in primary school. Creole people (Black people who are born and raised in Parbo) also are Black people. The pictures of the food weren't the dishes she was describing. Other than that, interesting video.

Surinamese people are friendly people, and they love food ❤
The peanut sauce seems to be a win win
we also learn english and spanish at school, the creole speak more sranantongo and the maroon of different tribes speak their own language as in paramakaans or saramaccaans. the diversity here is very big. we also have the chinese, javanese some tuks, jews, brasilians, hatians, javanese etc so also some french from french guyana so thats why we learned soo many languages.
Love from Suriname 🇸🇷👍🇸🇷
The peanut sauce bad bad. It is popular here in The Netherlands too. I eat fries with peanut sauce and not with ketchup 😅😊
Big up u self sis
yes bro😂
Clarendon have some lovely avocado there
we definitely eat everything you guys mentioned, some cultures might not but i have friends of all races and we eat caiman, iguana, wild cats and monkeys pretty much everything you just gotta know how to make it..no snakes for me though..but that's just me not speaking for the whole country
You and your friends seem to be an special part of the population and you should know that what you guys are eating does not count for the total Surinamese community. Keep your deviant habits to yourself and do not project tham to the rest of our country, We don't want to be seen as savages like you and your friends.
Hi Donieve and Renee, I would like to communicate with you about Suriname. This is my first time hearing about Suriname 🇸🇷 I didn’t know that this country existed until you ladies spoke about it thanks to Xavier and to you ladies blessings.
