If the walls could talk - Women sing Tura - Els Dottermans, Barbara Dex & Andrea C

Will Tura, the king of the Flemish song. But he is so much more than that. For 65 years, he has been coloring 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 kleinkunst and Dutch-language chansons to cheerful pop, from jazz to gospel, and from rock-'n-roll and country to even rap. Andrea Croonenberghs, Els Dottermans, and Barbara Dex previously brought a brilliant homage to Boudewijn de Groot with Als de rook om je hoofd is verdwenen (CCHA, 2022). To the great joy of the master himself. Three singers, each with their own unique angle. They know better than anyone 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, quirky, but always warm and full of reverence for the lyrics. 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. vocals Els Dottermans, Barbara Dex & Andrea Croonenberghs / keys Bert Gielen / guitars Jo Mahieu / drums Yves Baibay / bass Bart Delacourt / saxophone Jan Eggermont / trombone & trumpet Tom Verschoore / © Koen Bauters barbaradex.be & andreacroonenberghs.com
