Clarence Bekker, born in Surinam but of Dutch nationality, has taken his career down many paths: he was the youngest member of the successful Swinging Soul Machine, of the world music collective 08001, and he has been the voice of the viral project Playing For Change. The setbacks of life temporarily took him off his brilliant path, but years later he started again, from the first step and with the greatest humility. Fortunately, we have him back, with much more strength to sweep the stage. You will be excited about soul again as if it were the first time.
Clarence Bekker has a gift, that of touching the soul of everyone who listens to him. Through a deep, vibrant voice and a spirit charged with energy, he passes through the audience from head to toe. Absolutely no ear can remain impassive before his magnetism, the force of great soul and funk masters like James Brown, Prince, Whitney Houston or Michael Jackson concentrated in his figure.
There are guys who only need a couple of good chords, a voice with personality and a story to tell to reach our souls in a matter of seconds. True soul singers do without any extras to transmit and, without a doubt, Clarence Milton Bekker is on that list of chosen ones.
