Tribute – Luc De Vos (Gorki)

This weekend, one of Belgium’s most beloved artists passed away. A lot of people of my generation found their first love dancing to this song and now it kinda feels like we lost a family friend. No matter what language, this is great music. My small tribute to a big legend is sharing this with the world.

Vaar wel, lieve kleine piranha!

He released an album called ‘Cheese’ that contained other top tracks like:




All went quiet again for a couple of years and we all thought sadly enough he was a ‘one hit wonder’.

Especially when this video started circulating on social media of him, alone and drunk one morning at a busy square in Brussels, we had no more hope…

But the masses are stupid! Little did we know he was there secretly filming the video for his new ‘wonderful’ single ‘Formidable’.

For his new album ‘Racine Carrée’, he continued to use his trademark recipe, songs that sound happy and carefree but have rather dark, realistic everyday-life lyrics.

He also showed us his ‘feminine side’:

Supported the Belgian national team:

And we’re looooving the ethnic flavour he added to his latest album:

One thing is sure, he might not be able to fool the masses again, but he will continue to surprise!
