Madou has been a pillar of Belpop since 1981, with classics like Witte Nachten and Niets is voor altijd, which continue to mark Radio 1 playlists. Led by the unique voice of Vera Coomans, often compared to Marianne Faithfull, the band found a second wind thanks to the new generation, with Thomas Devos and Louis Van De Leest at the helm, and top-tier musicians like Mattijs Vanderleen and Marc De Maeseneer.
After more than four decades, Madou remains timeless and cult, celebrated this year by the Lifetime Achievement Award for Vera Coomans, the departure of Wiet Van De Leest, and the upcoming release of a vinyl box set that will seal its legendary body of work.
