Limburg has a rich musical culture. There are
hundreds of harmonies and fanfares, but also artists and bands. Besides folk
music and other types of music, there are also a lot of bands and artists
with a more comical and carnavalesque repertoire.
My dad used to perform a carnavalesque act with the famous Limburgian singer
Beppie Kraft, who sings songs in the Maastricht language. A few pictures of
how that looked like are below (click to enlarge). They performed as an
elderly couple, who constantly argued and also sang songs.
