Elly & Rikkert

Elly & Rikkert are a beloved Dutch duo consisting of Elly Nieman and Rikkert Zuiderveld, who’ve been crafting heartwarming folk-pop and children’s music since the 1970s. Known for their sunny melodies, playful storytelling, and wholesome Christian-inspired messages, they’ve become household names in the Netherlands, particularly for families. Their music often blends catchy acoustic tunes with themes of nature, kindness, and everyday joys, making them staples at festivals, schools, and holiday events.

In recent years, they’ve stayed true to their cozy, nostalgic vibe while staying active with releases like *Een Boom Vol Kerstliedjes* (a tree full of Christmas songs) and *Kinderconcert*, which highlight their knack for festive cheer and kid-friendly fun. Live albums like *Mooi Geweest* and playful tracks like *Wees een ster* (“Be a Star”) prove they’re still masters of feel-good singalongs that span generations. Whether they’re singing about heroes (*Helden*) or fleeting moments (*In het voorbijgaan*), Elly & Rikkert’s music feels like a warm hug from your favorite Dutch aunt and uncle.
