16 Nederlandstalige liedjes met een flinke dosis nostalgie, oud van Boudewijn de Groot of Jules De Corte of jong van Spinvis.

2 days ago, I had the great pleasure to see leonard Cohen in Concert. This inspired me to create this mix with some cover versions of his songs.

Just picked the painting first and then scrolled through my iTunes to find songs that match with Van Gogh's painting of the night café in Arles. A little bit drunk, a bit of homesickness, some sadness and some joyful colours. Featuring Leonard Cohen, Souad Massi abd The Velvet Underground.
