Dennis and Tibet
Guitarist of Dutch rockband KANE, Dennis van Leeuwen, will participate on recordings of a special single released to raise awareness for Tibet. The track ‘Als je ooit’ is an adapted Dutch version of ‘As ge ooit’ of JW Roy and Gerard van Maasakkers. Also working on the recording are Peter Slager and Bas Kennis (from Dutch band Bløf), Bart van der Weide (Racoon), Anneke van Giersbergen (ex-The Gathering), JW Roy, Loten Namling and Jeroen Goossens. The track will be released before the Dutch Ticket for Tibet festival, which will be on the 20th of April in Amsterdam. Dutch bands Bløf and Racoon will perform next to other musicians.
Since 1950 Tibet is under occupation of China. The people of Tibet have been fighting along side the highest religious and political authority, the inspirational Dalai Lama, for their independence for years now.
