TicketsARP FRIQUE & THE FAMILY
New Venue, Exceptional Headliner
For the 13th edition of Red Light Jazz, we are proud to welcome Bitterzoet as a new festival venue, featuring none other than the sensational live band Arp Frique & The Perpetual Singers.
From Rotterdam to a Unique Musical Universe
What began in a Caribbean restaurant in Rotterdam has grown into a rich and distinctive musical universe. Inspired by influences from Suriname, Curaçao, Morocco and India, musician, producer and multi-instrumentalist Arp Frique has developed a sound that is both warm and energetic. It is a vibrant blend of disco, funk and global rhythms, echoing the spirit of New York’s dance clubs while maintaining a colorful and unmistakably original signature.
The Magic of Arp Frique & The Family
In the studio, Arp Frique builds his music layer by layer. On stage, that work takes on a new dimension. Together with his “Family” — a collective of accomplished musicians from the Surinamese-Dutch-Cape Verdean scene — he creates a live performance driven by musical interplay, energy and pure expression.
An Evening of Groove and Musical Experience
Expect an evening at Bitterzoet where music is not only performed, but truly felt and experienced. Danceable, layered and full of character.
