When he plays the piano, it feels like he was born on the other side of the ocean, in the music city of New Orleans. Like he fell into a pot of gumbo as a kid, and never stopped making music after he got out. Jetse de Jong is a wizard at the keys, possessed by the blues. His eight-piece band Bayou Bayou can tear the roof off any venue. Sing and swing along to soulful sounds from the Southern United States.

In the family concert series Groove Beest you will discover why some music makes you want to tap your foot to the beat or jump up start dancing. Together with MC Cheyenne Toney and the band members you will feel fthe groove. Sitting still is not an option; so jump, dance and clap along and unleash your inner beast. Get in the mood with this video.
