The recording of the eighth VanderLinde album took place in the beautiful Waimes, located in the Belgian Ardennes. With the thirteen-track album ‘Muy Rico’, the band will return in 2021 inspired with songs that highlight our vision of today’s society.

Blood creeps where it can’t go and producer Erwin Musper (Mick Jagger, David Bowie, Van Halen, Chicago, Def Leppard, Anouk) has decided to take the plunge once again.

In addition to a fantastic band with VanderLinde members Wietze Koning, Christof Bauwens and Fokke De Jong (Normaal/KOTW), Arjan van der Linde has gathered a number of top musicians around him to sprinkle a unique sauce over it. The American Venice, Roel Spanjers (Frédérique Spigt/Normaal), Bart Schwertmann (Kayak), Léon Klaasse (Powerplay/The Pilgrims) and Dana Keller (Marvin Gaye/Stevie Wonder) can also be heard on the new album.

VanderLinde’s pop/rock/country style takes you back to the 1980s Crowded House, the 1970s CSN&Y, the 1960s The Beatles, and back to the present day of John Mayer and Jason Mraz.

In recent years, VanderLinde has mainly performed abroad. The band also toured in support of Fish (Marillion) and Bobby Kimball (TOTO) and performed at the Kunst!Rasen festival in Bonn in 2019. Fish, Jethro Tull and Riverside could also be admired here.
German radio stations such as NDR2 and WDR3 embraced the band years ago. Reviewers praise the albums released in the past and, as icing on the cake, the band even received a review in Germany’s largest magazine ‘Der Spiegel’.
