Woodwind player, composer and improviser Koen Boeijinga presents Dutch Mountain Tribe. This seven-person collective embrace both young pioneers and established virtuosos from the Dutch improvisation scene. They unite their diverse backgrounds (Netherlands, Italy, Turkey, Spain and the US) in a fabric of idiosyncratic melodies, enchanting rhythms and fiery improvisations. Their music evokes folk songs from a mythical Dutch mountain landscape. The collective has an extensive arsenal of percussion instruments, flutes, bagpipes and other objects from Koen's immense collection.
Follow these musicians as they walk the mountain paths with bells on their ankles and get lost in the unique landscape of the Dutch Mountains.
"Music full of energy and excitement! We were very impressed by the authenticity and persuasiveness of the Dutch Mountain Tribe."
