The Tielman Brothers

The Tielman Brothers were Indonesia’s original rock ‘n’ roll rebels turned Dutch music pioneers! This Indo-Dutch sibling quartet—Andy, Reggy, Ponthon, and Loulou—kicked off their career in the 1950s, blending fiery rockabilly with Indonesian folk rhythms. Known for wild stage antics (think guitar spins and high-energy moves decades before it was cool), they became Europe’s answer to American rock acts, tearing up venues with tracks like "Rock Little Baby of Mine" and their kroncong-infused jams. Their albums, like *The Indonesian Hurricanes!* and *The First Live Concerts*, captured their raw, electrifying sound, while songs like "April in Paris" showed their playful versatility. Though they never reached global megastardom, their fusion of East-meets-West rock made them legends in the Netherlands’ music history.
