On July 1st, we celebrate the breaking of the chains at the Keti Koti Festival on Museumplein in Amsterdam. It is a day on which we commemorate the abolition of slavery. After the commemoration, a vibrant festival takes place on Museumplein.
There, the NBE performs together with the close-harmony group Black Harmony, Denise Jannah and Denise la Rose, presenting the most beautiful songs from our program A Firi Fu Fri (“the feeling of freedom”), which we toured with last year to mark 50 years of Surinamese independence.
Admission is free, so come along and sing and dance with us!
