The catchy, original Dutch / Frisian band Kapriol'! play lively music from the Dutch tradition as well as their own tunes. Because the musicians of Kapriol'! have performed individually in a number of other bands (Kat yn 't Seil, Liereliet, Kajto and Kalis) they have developed a rich treasure of experience. They are: Marita Kruijswijk - flutes, shawm, vocals Marian Nesse - accordion, vocals Rutger Dijkstra - bass, guitar, violin, vocals Ad Bos - cajon and other percussion instruments, keyboard, vocals Now Kapriol'! is a much-wanted band that performs in The Netherlands and at international concerts and festivals throughout Europe: Spain/Barcelona (2009), Germany, Belgium, Denmark, Poland (2010) and France (2011). Two recent tours took them further through Europe (Belgium, France and Germany) as well as to the United States in 2011 (see: Concerts). Kapriol'! makes the difference. Their repertoire comprises free interpretations of ancient Dutch songs and dance tunes, combined with their own compositions. The music has influences from Medieval, Renaissance, Scandinavian and Celtic influences as well as various kinds of world music. Strong vocal harmonies and unusual instruments give their music a singular effect. Never a dull moment with Kapriol'! They are bursting with frivolity on stage, adding spontaneous improvisations. Kapriol'! presents a rich concert program for the entire evening. The songs of this concert program can be sung in Dutch as well as in Esperanto. And also the announcements can be made in Esperanto. Kapriol'! also presents an admirable balfolk repertoire for an exciting evening of Scottisches, Mazurkas, Andros, Bourrees, Jigs and Circassian Circles. These dances are designed for couples, line- and circle dances that have been popular around Western Europe. Fun is the key to their performances: enjoy the dance and the interaction with the musicians. One of the members of the group, being an experienced caller, will lead you through the dance. In addition, Kapriol'! presents a maritime program with strong a-cappella singing, including traditional Dutch shanties, sea songs and instrumental tunes.
