Hans Mortelmans
Music, Chanson, Manouche
Belgium
For over 20 years, Hans Mortelmans has been creating chansons built on a foundation of manouche music. His anarchistic pen remains as sharp as it is humorous! The melodies and lyrics of Hans Mortelmans reflect the greatest artists: Django Reinhardt, Georges Brassens, Joao Gilberto, Compay Segundo, and closer to home – Wannes Van De Velde.
Why settle for today’s hits when good and authentic music is within reach? He has now made seven albums with original work and two with translations of his muse Georges Brassens.
Jan de Smet, Raymond Van Het Groenewoud, and Jelle Cleymans unashamedly call themselves “fans of Hans Mortelmans.” An authentic artist who remains indifferent to all trends and fashions, continuing to amaze and move audiences with his unique style.
