Els Dottermans, Barbara Dex & Andrea Croonenberghs - If the walls could talk

Important correction! The printed brochure contains an incorrect date. The correct performance dates are Saturday, March 20 at 20:15 and Sunday, March 21 at 14:00. Will Tura, the emperor of Flemish song. But he is so much more than that. A monument, as Gert Verhulst rightly calls him. For 65 years, he has colored our music history. He recorded nearly a thousand songs. Tura was not just a singer, but also a gifted composer. He wrote almost all his songs himself, often with lyrics by Nelly Byl. His repertoire is remarkably versatile: from kleinkunst and Dutch-language chansons to cheerful pop, from jazz to gospel, and from rock 'n' roll and country to even rap. That is exactly what makes him such a fascinating artist, a true phenomenon. Andrea Croonenberghs, Els Dottermans, and Barbara Dex previously brought a brilliant homage to Boudewijn de Groot, to the great joy of the master himself. Three singers, each with their own unique perspective, who know how to give every song a personal touch like no other, always with respect for the original. Now, together and separately, they bring an ode to Tura. Creative, idiosyncratic, but always warm and full of reverence for the lyrics. Choosing was no sinecure; there is enough material for five theater shows. Expect an evening full of big hits, but also be surprised by almost forgotten gems.
