Taste of Suriname

One of the best things about traveling to other countries is enjoying food that you might not necessarily find at home.  One place that's always must eat at when I visit Holland is Rotterdam which has a very diverse group of people living in the city and of course with that diversity comes great food.  It is in this very city that you can find some of the best Suriname food that's always on point.

Good Morning Amsterdam

It's always great to wake up in my second city, Amsterdam and witness the views.  But in this case, the morning fog was as thick as pea soup but still a beautiful site to see.

Funk Club 045 at IBE

This past weekend at IBE in Heerlen, The Netherlands, my brother Rob Manga and I had the honor of curating one of the tents for the weekends festivities.  Along with festival's organizers we came up with Funk Club 045 and we then placed in charge of handpicking the lineup of vinyl DJ specialists.  Everything from Afrobeat to Soul, Jazz to Hip Hop, Boogie to Funk and everything in between was played for a packed crowd while the sun was shining and a few diehards that decided to dance the day away while others took to the insides waiting for the storm to pass.  On behalf of the IBE festival organizers, Rob Manga and myself, we'd like to thank all of the DJ's that rocked with us as well as all of the attendees at the festival.
