Popular Dutch songs/artists?

I like music by quite a few groups that do no longer exist, although some make reunion CDs, among them are Het Goede Doel and DoeMaar.

At this time there is a new lot of Dutch artists:

Jan Smit, Nick en Simon and many more I do not know by name.

And already working a long time, (not my personal favorite):

Marco Borsato.

Also working for a long time:

Guus Meeuwis and from Belgium Clouseau

And in dialect, Normaal, de Kast and Hessel.

If you just want to listen to a Dutch language channel, to find if you like the music, this website has several:

http://www.nederland.fm/

100% nl, should be all Dutch made (but not really 100%) and most in Dutch, I think this is a nice one to listen to, but I am not sure they announce the songs.

There is one with a big slash Hollands on it, (I think its name is Gigant.)

Radio NL.

Radio Noordzee Nationaal.

I am sure that the Belgium site has several too, but I do not recognize those by name: http://www.belgie.fm/

The site I name in sourch seems to have links to many Dutch artists and groups, some singing in Dutch, others in English and maybe a few in other languages to.

(PS, a lot of the names I gave may be oldies, but as you do not know them yet, they will be new to you.

It is mostly 80's till now.)

Hi can anyone help with the name or title of the song by a Dutch singer and an American of British singer. It is a combination of Dutch and English. It has words like "Fly away to Amsterdam"....happy new year baby....etc. It is a very lovely song. I have spent months looking for the artist name or song title. I will appreciate any help.

Clouseau = Dutch singing Belgian pop group that is also very popular in The Netherlands

Will Tura = the most famous Dutch singing Belgian crooner - a bit old fashioned maybe - but his lyrics are very easy to understand which is a big plus nowadays.

If I remember some other names, i'll get back to you.

Hope this helps.

Edit : I see that Willeke gave you quite a lot of info, even regarding her neighbour Belgium. I have been away far too long to be properly "updated"on the latest trends so..... Thanks WiIlleke for thinking about our Belgian singers too :-))

One more thing : to learn a new language, it is better if you start first with listening to "softer" tuned songs because their lyrics are better pronounced and thus better to understand.

Enjoy this new language!

Ik wens U veel plezier toe!

I'm learning Dutch too. And I like these singers who are Dutch and the songs I like. Monique Smit- Wild, Blijf Je Vanavond Nick en Simon- Rosanna Jeroen van der Boom- Jij bent zo, Betekenis Hope those are ok :)

You can find a lot of bands singing in Dutch at http://www.nederpoparchief.nl/

Some suggestions, that haven't been mentioned yet :

Acda & De Munnik, Bløf, Frank Boeijen, De Dijk, Boudewijn de Groot, Rob de Nijs, Van Dik Hout, Herman van Veen

It's very possible to learn to sing well. You just need to know the right methods. Learn here https://tr.im/LqQYR

Singing teachers will cost money and can be expensive so they're not for everyone. Singing can be learned so it's not an "either you have it or you don't" kind of thing.

Whether you sound like crap or you're decent, I recommend this singing course. It's one of the best methods to learn to sing well in a short amount of time. It's all about using efficient techniques that work.

Bløf, Guus Meeuwis, I.O.S. Gerard Joling, Gordon, Marco Borsato et cetera.

Hi there Wild Flower,

Frans Bauer seems to be a good one to learn the Dutch language. At least a Belgium professor who´s teaching Dutch to foreigners thinks so, he is using Frans Bauer´s song to teach, so who are we to question that.

Good luck and hope you´ll be able to practice it overhere.
