I think it’s also nice for you here, my book ‘Polderpower’ about 65 years of women in Dutch pop. With 50 interviews, historical overviews and countless photos of well-known and forgotten Dutch pop singers. Available for pre-order now and available from April at Noordboek-Van Gorcum Publishers.
Almost 50 Dutch singers from more than 65 years of Dutch pop talk candidly in Polderpower about their dreams, being discovered, success, trying to maintain it, making concessions, living in a man’s world and transgressive behavior. Provided with the necessary historical context and with the cooperation of numerous top photographers, this is a richly illustrated ode to all those strong women who climbed the stage at all costs to sing and be heard.
With the cooperation of Imca Marina, Ria Valk, Bojoura, Bonnie St. Claire, Lenny Kuhr, Astrid Nijgh, Anita Meyer, Toni Willé, José Hoebee, Angela Groothuizen, Mathilde Santing, Fay Lovsky, Lori Spee, Cherry Wijdenbosch, Jetty Weels, Frédérique Spigt, Lois Lane, Anita Doth, Trijntje Oosterhuis, Edsilia Rombley, Ellen ten Damme, Hind, Do, Berget Lewis, Roxeanne Hazes, Caro Emerald, Janne Schra, Numidia El Morabet and Tabitha.
“This musically historical book polishes that coveted, raw gem of being human: RESPECT.” – Simone Walraven (DJ)
