De Frjemde Útstappen Fan Drumband Hallelujah

The film tells the story of the remarkable collaboration between drumband Hallelujah from the Frisian town Makkum and D.I.Y. pop artist Zea. As tradition dictates, the sixteen-piece drumband makes its appearance at events such as the arrival of Sinterklaas and King's Day. But the adventurously minded drummers are always looking for something new, something… just a little different. The man behind Zea, Arnold de Boer, invited them last year to make a record with him. And so it came to pass. The drum band — which also features Arnold's father — composed music to accompany Arnold's Frisian-language songs. As this documentary unfolds a story about community, family, and tradition, we also see how this unlikely musical encounter brings the two genres together seamlessly.
