It's hard to find really nice music from the Netherlands and it's even harder to find brilliant music in Dutch. Most artists, singing either English or Dutch, make boring commercial tunes with lyrics that are faulty and meaningless. Of-course there are exceptions and Spinvis is one of those.

Spinvis makes cut and paste music with poetic lyrical sketches of (Dutch) life. It's more or less a project of one guy but live he brings a whole band with drums, guitars, cello, trumpets and many many more instruments.
And the effect is perfect! The musicians have much fun making the music, the lyrics are funny and pretty, the experience is very enjoyable ;-)

I think this music is also quite nice for non-Dutch speakers but it's a lot nicer when you can understand the lyrics because they are so beautiful sometimes.
So if you don't speak Dutch you can always give it a try; if you do know Dutch you should definitely listen to some songs!
