Originally released in 1983 on the Dutch label Pokoe, Iwan Esseboom Meets Cosje is a 12" vinyl rooted in Surinamese kaseko whilst a vibrant genre blend of African rhythms with Caribbean and Latin influences. The record features tracks like “A So Mi De Wan Indji, So Mi Sa Tan” and “Dai Mi A Kokoti,” showcasing the upbeat percussion, call-and-response vocals, and dance-driven energy that define the style.
 
Iwan Esseboom is a key figure in the development of kaseko music, later recognised for his contribution to the genre’s growth both in Suriname and the Netherlands. () This collaboration with Cosje captures an early moment in that movement—delivering raw, rhythmic grooves that sit somewhere between traditional folk roots and club-ready tropical sound. A strong pick for collectors of Caribbean and Surinamese vinyl, and anyone digging deeper into global dance music history.
