Netherlands
Jah6
ESNS: 2012
He was truly a Dutch hero. André Hazes was the creator and singer of many Dutch tearjerkers. Mention his name to a Dutchman and they will probably spontaneously start to sing. Finally Hazes is reincarnated in the form of a reggae band: JAH6. A combined project by Rudi de Graaff (Gotcha!) and Pieter Both (BEEF). During a Bob Marley jam session they met singer Herman Havertong who sang the Hazes classic Zij Gelooft In Mij. It blew Both and De Graaff away. They tried to fit other Dutch tearjerkers in a reggae mold. And it worked. You can sing along with JAH6 or just listen and watch. De Glimlach Van Een Kind, De Vlieger, Ik Verscheurde Je Foto, Mooi Was Die Tijd and Zij Gelooft In Mij, Dutch classics that are the backbone of JAH6 and captured the crowds on big Dutch festivals. You'll hear all Jamaican styles from reggae to rocksteady, ska, dancehall and loversrock. Reggae with a tear.
