For the Dutch no fados, tango, banjo plucking or throat singing. The fact that there is a quest at all, is interesting in itself.<br />Maybe we are being especially hard on ourselves when we ask "what is Dutch music(king)"? Maybe just because I don't own André Hazes cd's (or do I?), does not necessarily mean that André Hazes is not a part of my music-cultural habitat and heritage as a Dutch person?<br />So yes indeed: when I am asked in international settings to sing 'something Dutch' I sing of the kite for my mother... Maybe I would do better to sing, more relevantly: "Een man weet niet wat-iet mist, tot ze er niet is, tot ze er niet is" (De Dijk).Really Ninjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828158983712120627noreply@blogger.com
