Kaaiman - Nederswamp

Kaai Man sings about harbors and water, about life, love, hope, death and faith, with a voice propelled by deceptively simple chords flowing from his acoustic guitar, he brings blues, kleinkunst and sentimental ballads to life in an authentic way. For the singer Kaai Man the Scheldt is like the Mississippi; the lost souls of the Vlaamse Polders are in no way inferior to those of the American swamps. Kaai Man sings about harbors and water, about life, love, hope, death and faith, with a voice that braves and conquers the seven seas. A voice propelled by the deceptively simple chords flowing from Kaai Mans's acoustic guitar, sounding like a train from long-forgotten times, coming from a place far away here. And at the same time Kaai Man feels like home. Achter Kaai Man are the Oeverlozen. Schooled by life, they speak his language, strengthen and broaden his words, fall silent where one must listen. Using old recipes, mixed with today's poison, they bring the blues, kleinkunst and sentimental ballads to life in an authentic way in their arrangements.
