For 5 years now, the Snaarmaarwaar lads have been working their way through the musical landscape. With their mix of own compositions and traditional tunes they appeal to a very broad audience, from thoroughbred folkies to lovers of the harder stuff. In recent years the band has played regularly beyond Belgian borders. During the last year they have played at Nanjing Jazz and World Festival (China), Festival des Luthiers et Maîtres Sonneurs (F), Rudolstadt (D), Kaustinen Folkfestival (Fin), Kinnersley Festival (GB), Mandopolis (F), Viljandi Folkfestival (Est), Sunrise Celebration (GB),… Their first record “Snaarmaarwaar” (2009) was very well-received and, since then, they have continued to shape their unique string sound. Where mandola and mandolin tumble fiercely over each other, the guitar holds them effortlessly together with tight rhythms and dark grooves.

Belgium seems, strangely, to be a 'terroir' of neo-traditional music these days. I can but applaud this as the average quality appears to be really high.
thanks so much for ALL of your posts.

I agree with you Ralph. Belgium, in musical terms, is a surprising country.
Not only in Folk music they are strong, but they have a impressive presence in Avant Prog Rock too.
Groups like Univers Zero, Cro Magnon, Aranis, Julverne, DAAU, etc, are the top most in this style.
Been catching up on your posts - this is excellent! Your site has expanded my musical knowledge in a huge way.
Maybe try mediafire as the new backup - they have a very good reputation and (I think) will more than likely weather the current storm.
Thank you very much. Glad to see you're still running despite all the turmoil. Best regards, Max.
I really dig the reviews, opinions, and tips about folk and music in general you have on your blog. Great post, keep up the good work. Thanks.Long live rock n roll.IStillGotMyGuitar
