- Arthur Parisius alias Kid Dynamite (1911-1963) was born in Surinam where he got to know the Afro-Surinamese traditional religion 'winti', which would have a major influence on his life and music. In the late 1920s he was one of the first blacks to come to the Netherlands. He became more and more known as a musician and in the 1930s he played with his band in various establishments. Their swinging jazz, inspired by South American music, was immensely popular with the public, although jazz purists found it too commercial. In the late 1930s, the authorities turned against this 'negro music', and many clubs had to close. After the war, Kid Dynamite toured Europe, but later the popularity of his music waned. In 1963 he died in a car accident in Germany. Kids' life story is told by former colleagues, friends and by his ex-wife Bep and his sons.
