Daniël Lohues has a new album out, called Aosem, and there’s a story behind the title. He was travelling through the US, and in a hotel bar in Albuquerque, some couple asked did the usual How you doin’?
and so he told them that he was travelling around, catching a breath, so to speak. Awesome,
they said. Ja, aosem,
he though, That’s settled then.
Which makes perfect sense once you realize that “Aosem” isn’t only a phonym of “awesome”, but also the Low Saxon equivalent of the Dutch word for breath, “adem.”
As the constant reader might have guessed by now, with Lohues each album warrants its own tour, so of to Deventer we went, and an aosem night was had.
