Herman De Rycke, double-bass player of Kalinka Ensemble

Herman De Rycke

° Oudenaarde (Belgium)

Herman studied classical music in his hometown, but soon his attention moved towards pop music.

He was the bass guitarist in various pop groups and won Humo's Rock Rally with the Peter Pan Band.

Meanwhile, he also studied the double bass, both classical and jazz.

Eventually, after accidentally being exposed to gypsy and Eastern European music, these styles became his great love and specialty.

He is the founder and the inspirer of the Kalinka Ensemble.
