Seventy years ago the first Moluccans came to the Netherlands. Rafael Sinay , bandleader of SMANDEM., celebrates his Moluccan roots through his music. ‘For us, jazz is a mixture of styles and cultures’, he says about the SMANDEM’s mission. ‘We share a love for today’s popular music and strive to create a sound that combines all of our influences into something relevant.’ The young band combines R&B, jazz and folk music.
