Wiekenwals, the latest album by De Circusgasten, is a captivating and unique addition to the world of folk music. The band’s use of traditional instruments, such as the accordion and violin, alongside modern electronic beats and synths, creates a fresh and exciting sound.
The album features a range of songs, from upbeat dance tracks like “De Vliegende Hollander” to more contemplative pieces like “De Luchtballon”. Each track is expertly crafted, with tight harmonies and intricate instrumentation.
One standout feature of Wiekenwals is the storytelling aspect of the lyrics. The songs paint vivid pictures of characters and their adventures, drawing the listener in and immersing them in the world of the circus.
