Party: The Busquitos

I big hit at Swansea International Jazz Festival!

Jelle van Tongeren - Violin
Thomas Streutgers - Saxophone
Daniel Versteegh - Guitar
Ronald de Jong - Bass / Vocals

The Busquitos play a very catchy mix of brilliantly played music, sung with an impressive Louis Armstrong like hoarse voice, and dazzling, funny entertainment that will put a smile on everyone’s face! And if the time is right, they will mingle, wireless and play a serenade organize a limbo- or line-dance or get the audience to sing along to one of their catchy jazzy tunes.
The Busquitos are:
Jelle van Tongeren (winner of “The Golden Satchmo!”, Hot Club De Frank)- violin and Thomas Streutgers (winner of “The Big Boss Award”, Big Jay Mc Neely, JZZZZZP, Rude Rich & The Highnotes, The Soulsnatchers)- saxophone.
Two brilliant instrumentalists who have been showing their skills on stages all around Europe and beyond… they invited guitarist Daniel Versteegh and bassist/vocalist Ronald de Jong (nominated for Holland’s best blues-bass-player 2010, Big Jay McNeely, Shane Mac Gowan, Boyd Small) to join them.
The Busquitos play a large variety of music that goes back from anywhere as far as the 'roaring twenties' until yesterday. Hot Club, Jazz, Pop Rock&Roll, Classical Music, you’ll hear it all! Songs by Disney, Django Reinhart, the Mills Brothers, Sonny Rollins, and Irving Berlin, just to name a few as well as catchy tunes as Yackety Sax (Benny Hill), The Nanny,… etc etc.
The Busquitos already released 3 CD’s (1 Studio-CD, 1 Live-CD and 1 X-Mas-CD) May 2013 they released their 4th, filled with famous TV- and Film-Tunes, called “Tacky-Telly-Tunes”.
2015 will see a first “All Original” Busquitos-Album!
The Busquitos even have their own “Rollator Winterbeer 10%” brewed by the famous “Jopen” Brewery from Haarlem.
