The world of pop music is rarely unspoken. All the tall tales are usually true too. And reality is often more hallucinatory than it seems. Not with us in Belgium? Fortunately, yes. Here too, everything that is forbidden has a prominent place. Sex, drugs & blasphemy. But then in our own, mostly surreal way. Often less noticeable, but at least as sharp.
Jan Delvaux & Jimmy Dewit van Belpop Bonanza seek the scandal sphere this time. They go below the belt and present the best of the worst.
With leading roles for, among others, the queen of the erotic tear-jerker, the Kempense folk singer who let himself be kidnapped, the foreplay of the Smurfs, the religious friends of Raymond van het Groenewoud, and the heretics of the Flemish countryside.
And important questions like: Why were Lords of Acid in Penthouse? Who declared himself the befkapoen? Who is the biggest bad boy of Belpop? What is a hoezenpoes? Why does R. Kelly avoid our country?
Belpop Bonanza brings the spiciest stories together in a downright scandalous performance. Culturally responsible and well-founded, as always. But you are guaranteed to go outside with red ears.
Belpop Bonanza (°2013) is the name under which Jan Delvaux and Jimmy Dewit (a.k.a. DJ Bobby Ewing) bring stories about the most beautiful moments from national music history. With knowledge of matters and with the necessary winks.
Jan Delvaux (°1962) fell into a vat of stories about Belgian pop music at a young age. Volgens Bart Peeters knows more about Belpop than Wikipedia.
Jimmy Dewit (°1971) is a music maker, music chooser, and music talker. He makes soundtracks and plays records as DJ Bobby Ewing and with Discobar Galaxie.
