Surinamese dance and music have been largely influenced through time. Firstly, slavery brought several different traditional (west) African dances and music styles to Suriname. After slavery was abolished, different migrant workers from India and Indonesia brought along their own dancing rituals. Along with further migration, Surinamese dance has also been influenced by the Chinese, Lebanese and several European cultures.
