Annotation

Contemporary folk group, associated with Kleinkunst - "Dutch-language genre from the Netherlands and Flanders with influences from Cabaret, protest songs, Chanson, and folk". Group formed in 1967 in Belgium. Disbanded 12 July 1976. It featured Ivan Poppe, Paul Poppe, Ray Poppe, Riet Bracke, and Herman Van Caekenberghe. They recorded the protest song "Chili-Vietnam-Israel" (Cardinal Records # C 3306) released on Antwerpen, Belgium-based record label, drawing parallels to conflicts in different parts of the world, South East Asia, the Middle East, and South America: "they promise peace and freedom for their country... we still make the world hell".
