Last night, during the Buma Harpen Gala, the DJ/producer received the important prize. Candy Dulfer, saxophonist and Gouden Harp-winner of 2008, presented the much wanted oeuvre-prize to Armin. The Gouden Harp (Golden Harp in English) is an award for music composers and artists that made an extraordinary contribution to Dutch music. Some of the previous winners are Krezip, Within Temptation and Ilse DeLange, artists with who Armin has collaborated with. After the presentation, Armin gave a performance with VanVelzen and Within Tempation lead singer Sharon den Adel, supported by the Metropole Orchestra. The Gouden Harp, thats been awarded since 1962, is part of the Buma Harpen Gala. The Gala is an initiative of Buma Cultuur, founded by Buma/Stemra; the institution that takes care of the interests of music authors in the Netherlands. Buma Cultuur plays a big part in the promotion of Dutch music in and outside of The Netherlands. Tracks in this video: Armin van Buuren - Blue Fear tinyurl.com Armin van Buuren feat.
