For three years Oebele was seen on Dutch television. The KRO children's series ran from October 19, 1968 to December 25, 1971 and was a great success. Well-known actors Willem Nijholt and Wieteke van Dort signed for the lead role, but the secret of the series lay with the children who took part in each episode. Children acting and singing, that was something new. This CD box with four CDs, which is
… released more than forty years after the last episode, collects no less than a hundred songs. For the viewers of that time - now of middle age - of course good news. Their (grand) children can also enjoy themselves. The songs of the golden couple Harrie Geelen and Joop Stokkermans are infectious and often deal with timeless subjects such as holidays and the four seasons. The music is less timeless. No booming beats, but for example a lot of cool, swinging trumpets. Also in 2014 very suitable as a variety next to Children for Children and K3. (JE)more
