De Strangers were a beloved Flemish music ensemble from Antwerp, Belgium, known for their clever and often humorous reinterpretations of popular songs, with lyrics adapted to the Antwerp dialect and infused with local humor and social commentary. Their career spanned several decades, beginning in the post-war period and cementing their place in the heart of Antwerp's cultural scene.

The group became a household name in their region for their engaging performances and relatable content that often touched upon everyday life and current events, which endeared them to their fans. Some of their most notable releases include satirical hits like "Den Baas Hee Altijd Gelijk," which playfully pokes fun at the universal truth of bosses being 'always right,' and "De Kennedy-Tunnel / Perestroyka Cha-Cha-Cha," which not only humorously addresses local issues but also reflects global events of the time. Their album “Het Allerbeste Van De Strangers” showcases the best of their extensive discography, reminding listeners of the band's unique ability to combine entertainment with a sharp, observational wit. Although they have since ceased performing, De Strangers’ legacy lives on, particularly in Antwerp, where they continue to be celebrated for their contributions to the Flemish music and cultural scene.
