#URBAN TRAD
Folk Music stuck in the middle of Rock 'N Roll
A transeuropean sound adventure

As every music lover knows, Urban Trad was runner-up in the Eurosongfestival of 2003 with ‘Sanomi’.

This song was the epitome of a decade of fresh and inventive music, produced by a band that didn’t hesitate to challenge many boundaries.

Soetkin Collier, Veronica Codesal, Dirk Naessens and Philip Masure didn’t see Yves’ leaving as the end of a beautiful journey, but as a challenge to explore new horizons.

As the name already indicates, present day Urban Trad continues to stand for ‘Urban folk music of the 21st Century’, which is a far better description than the trivial ‘world music’.

Bagpipes, flutes and accordion got ‘fired’ and guitar wizard Bert Verschueren took over the musical direction.
