De Havenzangers

De Havenzangers were a Dutch musical group who had significant commercial success singing popular music in Dutch. They were founded in Apeldoorn in 1977, and had their first big hit with "’s Nachts na tweeën." De Havenzangers (lit., "harbour singers"), who specialized in "traditional Dutch sailor songs and carnival songs," had a long string of hit records and scored nine gold and seven platinum albums, and received an Edison Award for the album Ter Land Ter Zee en in ’t Café. The Havenzangers (then consisting of Henk Pleket and Willem Mulder) split up in 2007, and Pleket continued solo.
