1999 August 2, Gerben van der Marel, “'Praten over Suriname, dat doen we liever thuis' ['When we discuss Suriname, we prefer to do so at home']”, in NRC Handelsblad, retrieved 20 August 2024:De zaktelefoons van de jonge Surinaamse Amsterdammers komen nauwelijks uit boven de schetterende salsa en de Afrikaanse drums. „Fawaka? Waar ben je? Rustig.“ De sfeer in het Bijlmerpark is flex. Er wordt hard gepraat en vooral veel gelachen. Gesoigneerde jongens fluiten en sissen naar de meisjes die paraderen rondom het voetbalveld.- The sound of the pocketphones of the young Surinamese Amsterdammers barely rises above the blaring salsa and African drums. "Wagwan? Where are you? I'm fine." The atmosphere at the Bijlmerpark is relaxed. People talk loudly and, above all, laugh a lot. Dapperly dressed young men whistle and hiss at the girls parading around the football pitch.
