Experience Dutch Music Like Never Before!

Holland Mambo brings an exciting mix of well-known hits and timeless classics, reimagined through the vibrant sounds of a Cuban big band. Think Little Green Bag, Saturday Night, Venus, and Daar bij die Molen, but transformed into irresistible mambo, salsa, and cha-cha versions that will make it impossible to sit still.

Under the leadership of master drummer Lucas van Merwijk, the Young Cuboppers—the "Young Talent" version of the legendary Cubop City Big Band—elevate Dutch musical heritage to a new rhythmic peak. At the heart of the show is the versatile Lucretia van der Vloot, who, with her powerful voice and captivating performance, brings every song to life. Together with a new generation of talented musicians, each piece is transformed into a celebration of energy, passion, and virtuosity.

From traditional Dutch folk songs in a fresh merengue style to an electrifying comparsa version of beloved sing-alongs—Holland Mambo celebrates the rich musical history of the Netherlands in a dynamic Cuban big band setting, infused with the irresistible rhythms of mambo and salsa.

Expect a spectacular show filled with musicality, surprises, and an undeniable urge to dance!
