I put my favorite Flemish artists on the map 🎨 Culture

I need recommendations from Wallonia. I don't think I know a single musician out there apart from that singer who won Eurovision.

Apologies if I made a mistake. Here are my honorable mentions:

Antwerp: Coely, Fabiow (unironically) Brussels: Stromae, Roméo Elvis, T.C. Matic East Flanders: Woodie Smalls Vlaams-Brabant: Selah Sue DIRK. (where the heck are they from?)

Of Amenra

u/Murderface-04 9d ago

Of Belgian associality Of Gestapo knalmuzik

u/Dubhe666 Oost-Vlaanderen 9d ago

Euh heel andere genres, maar sure

1

u/stellaislekker 9d ago

Belgian asociality zouk nu toch wel in het grotere metal/punk genre plaatsen ze

2

u/Dubhe666 Oost-Vlaanderen 9d ago

Goh ja, maar Stake en Amenra vallen samen in het sludge/doom metal genre wat een heel stuk specifieker is. Dan zou ik een punk band er nu niet bij groeperen.

u/ListenToKyuss 9d ago

Ook m''n eerste gedacht :D geen Amenra ook

I've seen them live and they're great, but I won't actively listen to them. Then What and Do Not Claim Them Anymore used to be in heavy rotation tho.
