Tan Singing from Suriname


If you gave me a dream job, it would be to travel all over the world where the Indian Diaspora is and chronicle all the cultural artistry. Till this morning I didn't know about Tan Singing - The tan singing style is unique to the Indian community in Suriname and Guyana.From the little I know it is a predominantly East Indian Hindu neo-classical singing style
The internet do not show up much on Tan Singing. But I guess this is a sister genre of Chutney music.
