I'd say no. The Surinameses "sound" involved way too much oddities too. Far from being 'soul' orientated or even mostly we have yet to catch what made 'IT' when we browse through them in Holland's record stores.
Northern Soul is easier to resume as a 'club dance sound', Belgium Pop-Corn too as a mid tempo to dance R'n'R in slow-motion and the Carolina's Beach-Sound too as a 'happy go lucky' uplifting soul dance sound.
