Every seasoned Dutch-speaking hip-hop fan is familiar with the Buitenwest phenomenon, the storm that raged across the Netherlands between 2005 and 2006 with Typhoon, Jawat, Duvelduvel, Opgezwolle and Kubus. Of course there was a camera nearby during this tour, to capture not only the shows but everything that went on behind the scenes. The video material is divided into two discs. One DVD (De Film)
… shows a documentary by Habbekrats, which explains how the idea of the tour came about, and how the Buitenwest 'movement' came about. We see how Kubus works in his studio, how Typhoon signs with Topnotch, and more. On the other disc (The Show) is an impressive live recording of the last Buitenwest show that took place in Paradiso, Amsterdam. The audience is warmed up with the energetic performances of Typhoon and Jawat, after which Duvelduvel and Opgezwolle blow the roof off. This double DVD is a nice souvenir for the people who were there. Those who missed it at the time get a good impression of how wild it was. (GL)more
