Samora A Suriname Born Promising and Talented Reggae Artist 🎶 #RJNAS

tanjakolader in ReggaeJAHM • 3 years ago

Do you recognize this: listening to the radio in your car on any random day and an Irie song coming through the radio? I have that multiple times and when I arrive at my destination, I forget to search online for the song. The same happened with this artist, who also happened to be born in Suriname.

Introducing Samora.png

It's really a shame because she's very talented and I feel bad that I hadn't heard of her before. I've previously listened to one of her songs while driving, but forgot to search her music and today a news article mentioned her newly released song and I immediately scoured the internet looking for her songs and her social presence.

She is born (1991) and raised in Suriname as Samora Souprayen (better known as Samora) and she moved to the Netherlands in 2006. After reading some of the articles mentioning her and listening to some of her songs, I call her a true artist as she writes her own lyrics and because of her unique versatile voice reminiscent of dancehall, R&B and reggae queens I grew up listening to.

The song promoted in the article is Please Be Mine, which was in collaboration with Turbulence. According to Samora, Turbulence had a huge part in the conception of this song and it's about the longing to be together in the early stages of a relationship.

Here's the song Free up in which she calls us to action to free ourselves from mental slavery and make the most of our blessed days. This song really has Caribbean vibes.

And then I enjoyed this collaboration between herself and Lutan Fyah in the song What You Came For, that made me sway to the beats. The videoclip was also a joy to watch, seeing Samoras football skills and interesting fact is that they shot their scenes in different continents: Samora in Europe and Lutan being in the Caribbean.

And to close off for today - yes she has more songs, but I don't want her work to get saturated due to being crowded - her uplifting song Jah Inna Mi Life about positivity and being thankful for having the most High in her life. Whatever happens - the good, the ugly and the bad - having Jah in her life is what gets her through anything.

I’ve never been patriotic AT ALL but I also come from a country that is considered the most powerful in the world. I imagine if that were not the case I’d feel excited about someone from my country becoming world famous, especially a country like Suriname which our dumb education systems teach us NOTHING about. Thanks for sharing 😺

If you're from the USA you're one of the few who thinks like that. Of course, my notion of US-citizens being (overly) patriotic comes from large corporate media and I know better than to generalize a whole population 😅.

I imagine if that were not the case I’d feel excited about someone from my country becoming world famous, especially a country like Suriname which our dumb education systems teach us NOTHING about.

Hahaha, I can't speak for all of my countrymen, but for me it's important to highlight the people with a Surinamese background being successful, because growing up we (I) didn't have a lot of those. There's also a common saying that people who've made it internationally aren't being honored or respected by the country they come from. Some who've made a name for themselves have tried to do their part and give back, but get opposed because of (hidden) agendas. Everywhere politics plays a role and people often think "what's in it for me?"

Oh, and did you know that Suriname was exchanged for New York (City I think) after the Dutch-Anglo wars?

Well the diversity is not just a sales pitch. We have all types. Sadly the pop culture and media narrative is run by two poles of idiot and a lot of people are influenced by that 😑😑🤣

That’s a really strange situation. I think things are going to flip real soon. A lot of places that were ignored or mistreated or ignored for a long time are going to have new opportunities popping up thanks to communities like this one. This is still just the prelude.

New York! Lol yeah we don’t learn that. Or if we do there is so little context that we can’t remember it.

You and Justin brought Suriname to my attention. Hope to keep learning about it from your posts 😉. You are a diplomat now! But don’t worry. I won’t hold your mistakes against your fellow country people 🙃🙃

I'm aware of that 😅.

...thanks to communities like this one. This is still just the prelude.

One of the many reasons I'm still here.

You are a diplomat now! But don’t worry. I won’t hold your mistakes against your fellow country people 🙃🙃

Ahahahaa funny enough, because I always wanted to travel and learn from new cultures, I wanted to become an Ambassador. Didn't happen in the political context, but if there's anything I've learned it's that people can make a difference without the help from politics, if you only put enough effort and are actively working towards it.

Oh and though I do highlight a lot of positivity from this country, I'm not blind for what's wrong here... The only thing is that it's sometimes draining when one focusses so much on the negativity.

The tiny differences we make in the world are not all that tiny sometimes. Everything reverberates so no matter what you do, if it’s related to the world, it can still have that effect 😀

Those are some wise words to remember!
Especially for the days when one feels tiny and insignificant 💪.
