Rob Kemps
The greatest chansonnier of all time is not a Frenchman. He is a Belgian from Flanders who spoke French. A man from Schaerbeek who left hearth and home to find world fame in Paris. He spent his final days on Hiva Oa. And that is where he is buried. For Rob Kemps it is clear: Jacques Brel is the greatest of them all. In Laat me niet alleen, Rob now takes us around the world. In Brel’s footsteps. With as much humour as emotion, he tells of the music and, above all, the life of his hero. And in doing so, of his own life too. Rob has no choice. Because a life without Brel is no life at all.
