 Blf was officially founded in 1992, in the province of Zeeland, Netherlands. The original lineup was composed of the members Peter Slager, Paskal Jakobsen, Bas Kennis and Henk Tjoonk. Over the course of six years, the group had released nine records with multiple hit songs, and performed many sold-out performances. Show more » Rather than singing in English, as is common practice among Dutch bands, Blf produces songs in their native Dutch, vastly contributing to the popularization of Nederpop, as the genre is known in the Netherlands. Besides having deeply sensitive lyrics, Blf incorporates sounds from around the world. Their hit song 'Aanzoek zonder ringen' Proposal without rings uses Japanese kodo drums in the background, while their latest album, Umoja, was the result of a journey around the world to capture multi-national sounds. Critics claim that their formula for success is the way they crafted song; they try to find the ideal balance between alternative and popular rock, poetic lyrics, and the voice of Paskal Jakobsen. This has brought Blf the hits, awards, airplay, and international recognition that has propelled these four musicians into the most successful Dutch-language group in recent years. Besides success, Blf has also had its fair share of tragedy. Drummer Chris Gtte, who replaced Henk Tjoonk in 1997, died in a motor crash on March 17th, 2001. When the news got out, the Blf website was filled with condolances from fans and friends. In June, the band released a memorial album called 'Oog In Oog' Eye to eye. The revenue for the album was donated to War Child. Norman Bonink joined the band that same year and continues to be their drummer today.
