BV“Jean Blaute is actually Belpop history on two beautiful, muscular legs.” Bart Peeters was just one of the many guests on Friday at the launch of ‘Met Vallen en Opstand’, the biography of the producer who has produced more than thirty gold and platinum albums in both Flanders and the Netherlands. Blaute worked for Clouseau and Van het Groenewoud, with K’s Choice, Urbanus and countless others. The Cultural Center of Mechelen breathed Belgian pop history for an evening.
