With special guest Salvatore Adamo, performing tonight at Rotterdam’s New Luxor Theatre.
Adamo’s career is nothing short of impressive. A world star, he is said to have sold more than a hundred thousand records with songs he wrote himself. When he made his Rotterdam debut in May 1964, the scenes were straight out of Beatlemania: hysterical fans, fainting girls and nervous police officers—and that’s without even mentioning Herman Stok.
Yet Adamo was no mere teenage heart-throb. His talent was recognised by the biggest names in chanson, including Trenet, Brassens, Brel and Aznavour.
