The Long River Slides | Water wieg me

a musical ode to sadness

Punk brass band De Kift has been performing its unique brand of music on the international scene for over 30 years. Frontman Ferry Heijne sets off by boat searching for adventure and inspiration. The portholes frame the barren winter landscape. Heijne listens to the stories told by people he meets along the way. Their stories are suffused with the air of loneliness, wistfulness and stubborn determination that characterize the sound of De Kift. The struggle of life is the inspiration for new music.
