One day before Suriname’s Independence Day, Caribbean Music Award winner Samora releases her newest single and video:

“Born in Suriname (Work)” is probably Samora’s most personal song to date: The tune traces her career from young dreamer in Suriname to music student in the Netherlands to up-and-coming artist based in Switzerland who recently won the Caribbean Music Award as Best New Artist Reggae… Samora describes her striving for the best, growing up in an environment where there was little support for her dream of a music career and becoming an international artist.

The verses talk about her growing up and the values she was taught, while both pre-choruses show how she visualized her dreams and set her own goals in life.
