Prince Koloni is a musician, singer and songwriter who specializes in reggae, kaséko, bigi pokoe, and aléké–music. Born in in Sikisani, a small village at the Maroni River [maroni means maroon] in the Amazonian forest, on the river banks at the disputed border between French Guiana and Suriname. “Prince” because his father is one of the kings of aléké (a style of drum-based music from the Guyanan/Surinamese border) in Suriname and the Bushinengués (translated as “bush men” or “men of the forest”)— descendants of escaped slaves of the “green hell”—who claim that talent is transmitted by blood.
