Clarence Bekker Band concert at the Jean Leon Winery

Clarence Bekker has a gift, that of touching the soul of everyone who listens to him. Through a deep, vibrant voice and an energetic spirit, he traverses the audience, from head to toe. Absolutely no ear can remain impassive before his magnetism, the force of great masters of soul and funk such as James Brown, Prince, Whitney Houston or Michael Jackson concentrated in his figure.

Clarence Bekker lands this edition with the entire band with the virtue of reaching more strongly the soul of anyone who listens to him. He has a deep, magnetic and vibrant voice that dignifies the repertoire of the great masters in the history of soul, funk and pop. In his long career, he has played with bands like 08001 and has achieved memorable achievements: such as recording a version of “Stand by Me” with millions of views on the Internet, or participating in the international project Playing for Change.

With the Clarence Bekker Band, which he founded in 2016, the Surinamese musician has brought together some of the best performers in Barcelona, has traveled halfway around the world and has recorded the famous album, Changes (Jazz Activist, 2020), which confirms him as one of the great soul, funk and R'n'B artists of our times .

There are artists who only need a couple of good chords, a voice with personality and a story to tell to reach our souls in a matter of seconds. True soul singers do without accessories to transmit and, do not doubt it, Clarence Milton Bekker is on that list of chosen ones. Born in Suriname, but of Dutch nationality, his career has taken him down countless paths.

Listening to it live you will forget that nostalgia for Marvin Gaye that we all have inside. You will be excited about soul again as if it were the first time.
