About

(Born. Eindhoven, Netherlands 22 January 1937 - Died. 3 December 2021) was a Dutch singer.
(aged 84)

Party singer Arie Ribbens from Brabant has died at the age of 84. His record company DFM reports this. The singer, known for carnival squatters such as ‘Polonaise Hollandaise’ and ‘Brabantse nights are long’, had been ill for a long time. Ribbens had to stop singing in 2015 because his vocal cords were damaged. He had also been diagnosed with lung cancer six years earlier, and the disease kept coming back after that.

The singer, who was born and raised in Eindhoven, started out as a jazz artist, but only really broke through in 1980 as a party singer with the still much played ‘Brabant nights are long’. After that, he continued to make and perform singles and albums for decades. The ‘Polonaise Hollandaise’, translated from the German, with the winged slogan ‘turn left at Hoevelaken’ was his biggest hit.
