Charl Delemarre – Tribute to Ramses Shaffy
Singer Charl Delemarre presents a musical evening at the Rijswijkse Schouwburg in The Hague with his show Tribute to Ramses Shaffy. Together with his band, Charl brings the work of Ramses Shaffy to life in a personal and emotional way.
Charl Delemarre made a strong impression on the jury of 'The Tribute: Battle of the Bands' with his version of 'Laat me'. The jury was remarkably unanimous: the band came strikingly close to Ramses Shaffy, while Charl added a compelling personal expression of his own. That combination, craftsmanship and individuality, is precisely what makes this show stand out.
Ramses Shaffy wrote songs that have moved people for decades. His music deals with passion, melancholy and a zest for life, often all at once. Charl takes that legacy seriously without turning it into a museum piece. The songs feel familiar, yet fresh and genuinely lived-in. You hear it in his voice, see it in his stage presence, and feel it when he draws an entire room into silence.

The programme includes classics such as 'Sammy', 'Laat Me' and 'Zing, Vecht, Huil, Bid, Lach, Werk en Bewonder'. Together with his band, Charl builds an evening that moves between intensity and intimacy. For those who have always loved Shaffy's music, this is a chance to experience that world again. For those less familiar, it is a beautiful introduction to a unique part of Dutch cultural heritage.
