Ronald Snijders-flute, Lesley Joseph-bass, Giovanni Essed-percussion, Robby Alberga-guitar, Glenn Gaddum-keyboards, Joe Rivera-trumpet, Margreet Busstra-sax, Kees Adolfsen-trombone, Pamela Pinas-vocals, Satcha Valies-vocals, Cosmea Panka-vocals

With his Extended Funk Band flute player and composer Ronald Snijders (Paramaribo, 1951) goes back to the vintage funk of James Brown, Sly Stone, Herbie Hancock, Earth Wind & Fire, George Duke and Miles Davis. Influenced by those 70’s giants, Snijders developed his own funk interpretations in which many Afro Caribbean music styles can be detected.
