Watch the premiere of 'Het Sinternationale Pietenlied'! Ik en den Theo got an assignment from the 'Pieten': they had to make a special Pieten-song with accompanying video. There wasn't much time, so Ik en den Theo called in the help of the children and asked them to make a drawing of the 'Pieten'. Not just any drawing, the Pieten had special wishes: they wanted to be drawn in all their variations and shapes, not always in the same, boring way! Luckily there were children willing to help Ik en den Theo and you can discover the result here! For the Dutch verion - " Het Sinternationale Pietenlied " - CLICK HERE ! From now on, you can also buy the song (in Dutch and French) via Bandcamp. Let us know what you think!

Curious to see what's behind the camera's? This was Show de Bxl - part 1: online concert Ik en den Theo / Moi et le Théo at Gag in Laeken, Brussels. Want to watch it again? Here are the links: IN DUTCH (for the most part) IN FRENCH (mostly) Rock 'n Roll for Kids!!! Keep safe and sound!

Choux de Bruxelles presents: Show de Bruxelles - Ik en den Theo Live Stream Crazy songs for kids age 3 to 93 Dance, jump and sing along with Ik en den Theo/Moi et le Théo from the safe comfort of your home. November 15 at 11 'o clock in Dutch (with a bit of French) and at 17 'o clock in French (with a bit of Dutch) on Facebook. With Ik en den Theo/Moi et le Théo you (re-)imagine the world through children's eyes. Kids, parent and grandparents walk around like robots, play musical chairs, get a visit from uncle Jazz, play ABCDetective and lots more... In other words, they explore the outer limits of their imagination. Piet Maris and Theophane Raballand (both from Jaune Toujours) do their thing on accordion and drums... and with the crowd, that is constantly challenged to sing along, dance and fantasize.

Help us! Do you have kids, grandchildren, godchilds, nephews, nieces, brothers, sisters, pupils, neighborhood children? Watch this video (in Dutch, also available in French) with them for more info: Then check out the Facebookevent It's very important that we succeed!

We made a little bilingual playlist of our songs "Près de toi" (Close to You) and "Des sons bizarres" (Weird Sounds) where you can have a good shiver together. Creepy, but not too much. You can find the playlist on Youtube

Day 44 of the Covid19 quarantine: “Superheld // Super-héro”, by Ik en den Theo / Moi et le Theo, performed by Piet Maris. Ik zonder/sans den Theo: ’Superheld / Superhéro' from the album Ik en den Theo / Moi et le Theo (2011). Here mixed up in both Dutch and French, as they often do on their live (and pretty wild :) ) kids concerts (on the album, we have a version in Dutch and one in French). For all superheroes of yesterday, today and tomorrow! Listen to the original studio version -> in DUTCH -> in FRENCH

Day 37 of the Covid19 quarantine: Ik zonder/ Moi sans den Theo: 'Robots' from the album Ik en den Theo / Moi et le Theo 2.0 (2016) incl. power cut at the end! (but no panic the guitar is still operational: I managed to get the sound switch button in between 2 positions - a first! never happened before!) Bilingual in French and Dutch for all those lovely wee ones out there! Listen to the original version from the second album on Bandcamp! Here's some nice anecdote about this guitar: it hung as decoration in Piet's room in the small house he used to live in at the end of his university years. When he had Timothy "T.V." Smith (yes, from 70's punk band The Adverts!) staying over after a concert in - at that time - the smallest Belgian music club Jeugdhuis Het Uur, which he started up with the incredible Filip van Ongevalle (and to be honest, we started it up together, but he really did run that club). Long story short: TV Smith advised Piet to get the guitar of the wall and have it repaired, as he recognised it as a genuine Hoffner Galaxy (yes the guitar the Beatles played on!). And the rest is history!

Day 28 of the Covid19 quarantine: "Boem Patat", by Ik en den Theo / Moi et le Theo, performed by Piet Maris. This song was commissioned by the primary school "De Toonladder" after that other lockdown of Brussels, just after the terrorist attacks in Paris. The school team wanted a song that the children could sing to lift their spirits. We hope it will work its magic for the wee ones once more. Listen to the original bilingual recording on Bandcamp
