Archivist

Fifty years of Dutch-language rock and poetry Only ‘don’t miss this’ should suffice as text, but we give Raymond more space. Because he deserves it. He always called himself a lyricist, philosopher, and clown. And after fifty years on the boards, Raymond van het Groenewoud has proven that he can be all three at the same time. Van Meisjes and Vlaanderen Boven from Je veux l'amour and Brussels by Night to the gospel-like Liefde voor muziek and the best Flemish song chosen by Radio 1 listeners Twee Meisjes … his oeuvre is a walk through Flemish music history. The MIAs awarded him the Lifetime Achievement Award and called his songs "cultural heritage". Het Nederlands as rock language, you have to do it. Now Raymond looks back on a rich career, with the most beautiful songs from his repertoire and the surprises that show his versatility. Together with his live band, he provides an evening full of emotion, energy, and recognition. With humor, passion, and the authenticity of someone who never did anything other than be exactly himself.
