About Ramses Shaffy & Liesbeth List

Liesbeth List and Ramses Shaffy are inextricably linked to Dutch music history. Their collaboration in the 1960s and 1970s produced a unique combination of emotion, poetry, and musicality. While Shaffy was known for his raw, expressive style and his yearning for freedom, List brought a refined, sensitive interpretation that gave his work an extra dimension. Together, they managed to elevate the 'levenslied' (life song) to a higher artistic level. Their performances were intense and sincere, often balancing between melancholy and zest for life. The contrast between their characters is great and makes the collaboration all the more special. Shaffy lived a boisterous and uncompromising life, while List was known for her discipline and craftsmanship. Their repertoire remains relevant today. New generations are discovering their songs and recognizing the universal themes of love, loss, and longing. These are themes that are also present during the performance. 'Let me' play a prominent role. The theatre concert is therefore a worthy tribute to Shaffy and List that fills the hearts of the audience with warmth and nostalgia.
