The languages of the Suriname Maroons differ from each other and has nothing to do with creole or what so ever. As Suriname have large maroon population still living deep in the jungle, they are distinct by 5 tribes, all with their own language and traditions: Saramaccans, Paramaccans, Aucaners, Aloekoe (Suriname and French Guyana) and Ndjuka. They all speak their own language but all have Cromantee words in their vocabulary. Most of the Aloekoes from french Guiana descent from Suriname and they speak the Suriname Creole (Takkie Takkie which is not a maroon language) as well. Suriname and Jamaica Maroons has close similarities with each other and are still pristine compared to maroons in Columbia for example.

Oh My, I recognize this. This music and songs are from my homeland, Cote d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast).
I'm from Surinam live in Holland and its staggering to see however so far away music is the best way to keep history told.
Wow! It never died. That is beautiful!
Oh my God this sounds like the tribes of Northern and Volta regions of Ghana. The dance is definitely a blend of our Northern tribes and Eve tribes.
...This they can't take away
Fascinating!, many thanks for sharing
