Clouseau is a renowned Belgian pop band that has captivated audiences with their melodious pop-rock tunes and heartfelt ballads primarily in Dutch. Formed in 1984 by brothers Koen and Kris Wauters, the band shot to fame in their homeland and gained considerable popularity in the wider Dutch-language market, including the Netherlands and parts of Belgium. Named after the bumbling detective Inspector Clouseau from the Pink Panther films, the band has showcased their dynamic range through their sustained presence in the music scene.

Over the years, Clouseau's sound has evolved, but their core appeal has remained rooted in Koen's distinctive vocal style and the emotive songwriting led by Kris. Their impressive discography features a string of hits and fan favorites, reflecting their ability to stay relevant and beloved across generations. In recent years, the band has continued to release new material, as seen in tracks like "Jonge Wolven" and "Nu Gaat Het Gebeuren," meanwhile displaying their live performance prowess in a series of live recordings from the show "Uit Liefde Voor Muziek," which includes renditions of "Our House" and "Helemaal Alleen." Their 2020 album "Tweesprong" further cements their status as mainstays in the canon of Dutch-language popular music. Clouseau's enduring appeal is not only in their music but also in their ability to connect deeply with fans through intimate storytelling and rousing live performances.
