Els Dottermans, Barbara Dex & Andrea Croonenberghs

Women sing Tura. An ode by Els Dottermans, Barbara Dex & Andrea Croonenberghs to the king of Vlaamse Lied. For 65 years, Will Tura has colored our music history. He recorded almost 1,000 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 surprisingly versatile: from cabaret and Dutch-language chansons to cheerful pop, from jazz to gospel, and from rock-’n-roll and country to even rap. Exactly that 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 perspective. They know like no other how to give each song a personal touch, always with respect for the original. Now they bring an ode to Tura together and separately. Creative, idiosyncratic, but always warm and full of reverence for the text. Choosing was no sinecure – there is enough material for five theater programs. So expect an evening full of big hits, but also let yourself be surprised by almost forgotten gems.
