Acda en De Munnik
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Acda en De Munnik (Acda and De Munnik) is a Dutch cabaret and music duo, Thomas Acda IPA: [ˈtomɑs ˈɑkda] and Paul de Munnik IPA: [ˈpʌul də ˈmʏnɪk]. While their songs in Dutch are musically simple and well-crafted, the texts are most important. Striking is the harmony between both their voices. At the Amsterdamse Toneel & Kleinkunstacademie they were advised to listen carefully to Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. When they just started, their voices have also occasionally been compared to those of Simon and Garfunkel. By now they have developed their own recognizable style.
