Songpot · Amsterdam Dance Event 2026

Suriname diaspora connector and scene watcher
Based in France · From Suriname
Another panel speaker rather than a set artist. Her role is contextual: she tracks what’s moving in Suriname’s interior and among diaspora communities, then brings that knowledge into the room.
ADE identifies her as Elkana Dalen, called Tante Kana, a connector with roots in Suriname’s interior, based in France and tied into communities in Belgium and the Netherlands. She appears here with Gowtu, the Amsterdam platform that has spent years pushing Surinamese artists and event culture to diaspora audiences.
