Deeply rooted in Dutch cultural heritage and utilizing closely held traditions, Mama Roux is like a sparkling new coat worn proudly to the next major event of the season. Since 2005, with a distinctive style that not only honors tradition but also infuses it with a bright modern sensibility, Mama Roux is defining this new music with a healthy dose of irreverence, passion and flair. The three female singers and two male musicians use double bass, piano and accordion to great effect creating a joyful and theatrical performance that connects with everyone regardless of their nationality. Their 2007 album “Schoone Schijn” (Keeping up Appearances) received acclaim from critics and audiences alike. The Mama Roux lineup consists of Mieke Rous (lyrics, vocals), Caroline Buitenhuis (vocals), Tynke Luske (vocals), Juul Beerda (accordion, piano) and Erik van Loo (bass).
