Pierre Spiers - Belgique Mon Amie Les Airs Des Provinces Belges

Review by Mohamad Zulhelmi Redzwan

Belgique Mon Amie Les Airs Des Provinces Belges is an outstanding album by Pierre Spiers that showcases the musical heritage of Belgium. The album features a collection of traditional folk songs from various provinces in Belgium, including Flanders, Wallonia, and Brussels.

Spiers' arrangements of the songs are beautifully orchestrated, with a blend of instruments that perfectly capture the essence of each region's music. The use of accordion, flute, violin, and guitar creates a rich and vibrant sound that is both authentic and captivating.

The album's standout tracks include "La Brabançonne," the national anthem of Belgium, and "Le Chant Des Wallons," a patriotic song that celebrates the Walloon region. The album also features lesser-known songs such as "Le P'tit Quinquin," a children's song from Flanders.
