>strong>Pop music in Dutch language
Many Dutch artists have become popular by singing songs in their own language. It started with Peter Koelewijn in the late 50s, the first to sing Rock and Roll in Dutch. In the 60s it was mainly Boudewijn de Groot - to this day extremely popular. In the 70s there were many performers, of which Rob de Nijs stood out. The 80s were for André Hazes and less Koos Alberts. The 90s were dominated by Marco Borsato. Other well known names throughout the years were Jan Smit, Frans Bauer, Gordon, Guus Meeuwis and René Froger.
In addition, there is a large group of bands that compose and perform pop and rock songs in the Dutch language. That started in the 70s with Polle Eduard, Bots and Normaal - which sang in dialect. Late 70s and early 80s there was a big boom of bands that used the Dutch language in their songs. Well known representatives from that period: Doe Maar, Het Goede Doel, Frank Boeijen Groep and Toontje Lager, and during the late 80s De Dijk, Scene and Tröckener Kecks.
In the 90s there was a second boom Acda en de Munnik, Blřf, Van Dik Hout and IOS.
