To kick off the year in style, we’re thrilled to present two outstanding balfolk duos: Wouter en de Draak and Duo Clercx.
Wouter Kuyper and Joris Alblas captivate dancers with their "butterfly-like tummy tickle" of glorious music. The powerful synergy of accordion and guitar forms the foundation of their versatile dance repertoire. A performance by Wouter & de Draak is like stepping into a colorful painting—ranging from enchantingly intimate mazurkas to lively and explosive scottisches.
Duo Clercx, founded in 2022 by brothers Hendrik and Gert-Jan Clercx, brings a fresh energy to balfolk. With a rich arsenal of instruments, they perform their original repertoire crafted especially for dance. Being dancers themselves, they instinctively know how to inspire the floor. Expect sensual mazurkas, spicy magic circles, and robust bourrées. Their enthusiasm and deep roots in diverse folk traditions will have you itching to dance from the very first note!
