" "I never said: I'm going to be a singer. It happened to me."
Wannes Van de Velde was born between the sounds of a musical tradition.
That early encounter with oral tradition and his penchant for the unadulterated made him intuitively recognize the atmosphere and the signs of the real things along his paths.
Wannes picked up the traces and carried them on to our time, where he gave them a new voice and content with his gifted craftsmanship and abiding respect for the essence."
