André Manuel

André Manuel (born 1966 in Diepenheim, Overijssel) is a Dutch singer and performer.

Manuel sings in his regional dialect, and is known for his critical and sometimes cryptic lyrics.

[1] His first band was called Fratsen (meaning antics in Dutch), formed in 1985.

After that group disbanded, he formed Krang, in 1996; they were nominated for an Edison Award in 2000.

Krang split in 2004, and Manuel continued to perform as a solo artist, and published a book entitled Het Tragische Einde Van De Nederlander Zoals Wij Hem Kennen ("The Tragic End Of The Dutchman As We Know Him").
