Amarins & le Gatte Negre

Amarins & le gatte negre is a versatile, talented folk/pop group from Amsterdam. These energetic
musicians add a fresh sound to the genre, with strong narrative lyrics, playful character and a unique
group dynamic. The band came into being in the search of young songwriter Amarins for the perfect
musical frame for her songs. At that point she was already well known in Amsterdam for her role as
backing vocalist on the first two albums of renowned Dutch singer-songwriter Lucky Fonz III. After some
wandering and short collaborations ‘le gatte negre’ was formed. The violin, double bass, accordeon,
percussion and harmony vocals add a great sound to the songs.
Amarins’s lyrics are often inspired by the sea: from lonely boats and messages-in-a-bottle to Baywatch
star actor David Hasselhoff, running the beach in slow-motion. Amarins’s versatility and humour also
show themselves in ‘Billy Jean’, her answer to Michael Jackson’s original. Musically Amarins & Le gatte
negre could be described – if only just- as a meltingpot of influences from Folk, Pop, Gypsy, Andrew
Sisters to Fanfare.
