Artist description This three piece band from the Netherlands is best described with the word intensity. Chishango combines their devotion to compose the perfect popsong with power and energy. The music is influenced by artists like Radiohead and Jeff Buckley, but blended into a typical Chishango-sound. Singer/guitarist Bert Hoogma screams, sings and whispers his songs about desparation and love supported by steady Bart van Kuijk and Joep Duijnstee on bass and drums.
