A special year is just around the corner for Anton. Two concerts in Germany have already been confirmed. On Friday, April 19, Anton will perform in the Kuniberthalle in Werl-Büderich (Kreis Soest). Admission is at 7 pm, the concert starts half an hour later. 

Like a rollercoaster-ride

Dany Vera is a very popular singer-songwriter, and not just in the Netherlands.

His hit "Rollercoaster" is also playing up and down on German radio stations. Anton´s German song "Dort, wo du bist" is based on this song.

Anton van Doornmalen actually composed it for a golden wedding that had to be canceled due to the pandemic. The song is aimed at all people with long-term relationships. And as we all know, things go up and down - like on a rollercoaster.

Rediscovering older songs

Anton wrote the song "See the Whole World Different" over 15 years ago. The song fits perfectly with his new overall theme: Journey.

"Now is the time to see the world differently," the singer said during the second digital concert in December. The song reads, "What you see is hostility, no humanity." If you want to change the world, you have to act, is the credo.

Anton's message of freedom and peace

As concerns music, the famous Beatles are among Anton's greatest role models. This is the very time to recall John Lennon's message of peace: "Imagine".

"After all, every person wants to live in peace and freedom," said the Dutch singer.

The song "Imagine" describes the vision of a society free of religion, nationalism and property. It is a call for peace and is the anthem of the peace movement of the 70s. It is one of the best songs of all time, as published by the US magazine Rolling Stone. 

Inseparably connected with music

Anton is a so-called singer-songwriter. "I don't just sing, I also write most of my songs myself. I'm connected to the songs, inseparable," says the singer and adds: "I've often asked myself why I write these songs. First of all, I don't really want to do anything other than capture a feeling that I have experienced in the presence of my family, my friends or on my own. Capture it in a song. That way, a feeling can become a memory." A feeling that lasts. Music that stays - songs that stay.
